Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani arrived in Dhaka on a two-day visit.
The plane carrying him landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at around 5pm on Monday (22 April).
President Mohammed Sahabuddin welcomed him with a bouquet at the airport.
This is the first high-level state visit of a leader of any Middle Eastern country after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina assumed office in January 2024.
Six agreements and five memorandums of understanding (MoUs) are likely to be signed between the two countries during the Dhaka visit.
The agreements are avoidance of double taxation and tax evasion, cooperation in legal matters, maritime transport, mutual investment development and protection, transfer of convicted persons and establishment of a joint business council.
Apart from these, five memorandums of understanding (MoUs), including those on the labor force, higher education and scientific research, and cooperation in diplomatic training are likely to be signed during the visit.
President Shahabuddin will host a lunch in honour of the Amir of Qatar at Durbar Hall of the Bangabhaban.
Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani will fly to Qatar by a special aircraft in the evening.
