The South Korean president is scheduled to hold a summit with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on October 25, as the two countries prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations in 2024.

Mr. Yoon Suk Yeol is the first South Korean President to make a state visit to Qatar. He is accompanied by First Lady Kim Keon Hee and a 59-member South Korean business delegation.

Qatar is the second and final stop on the South Korean president's five-day regional tour, which followed a state visit to Saudi Arabia.
