DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s president arrived in Qatar today and was welcomed in an official ceremony by the country’s ruling emir ahead of a global gas summit and as pressure mounts to revive Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers. The Iranian president traveled to Qatar with five Cabinet ministers, including the foreign and energy ministers, the state-run news outlet IRNA reported. While in Qatar, Raisi will attend the Gas Exporting Countries Forum in Doha, where he is expected to deliver remarks on Tuesday. The forum is aimed at bringing heads of state and energy ministers from gas exporting nations to interact and exchange views. Qatar has a little more than 300,000 citizens, but expatriate foreign workers on temporary visas far outnumber the local population.
