The Emir is visiting Pakistan on invitation of Prime Minister Imran Khan and is accompanied by a delegation of ministers and senior officials of the Qatari government. He was welcomed at the Noor Khan Airbase by the prime minister.

This is the Emir’s second visit to Pakistan. He last visited four years ago.
