Al-Marsad newspaper: circulating pictures showed the wife of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, during his official visit to Spain.
The consort of the Emir of Qatar appeared standing next to him in a group photo with King Felipe VI of Spain, at Sarzuela Palace in the capital, Madrid.
King Felipe VI received the Emir of Qatar on his first visit to Spain since his accession to the throne in 2013, with a display of the royal guard of honor. It is assumed that the two leaders will then hold a meeting to discuss a number of issues of common interest.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is scheduled to receive the Qatari emir on Wednesday at Moncloa Palace, the seat of the Spanish government.
According to a Spanish government source, dozens of economic and commercial contracts are to be signed during this visit, which will be attended by a large Qatari delegation that includes the ministers of foreign affairs and energy affairs.
According to the same source, these agreements will focus in particular on energy, especially gas, at a time when Madrid, like the rest of the European Union countries since the war in Ukraine, is seeking to diversify its supplies of liquefied natural gas in order to reduce dependence on Russia.
