Iran's president arrived in Qatar on Monday and was welcomed in an official ceremony by the country's ruling emir ahead of a global gas summit. This is President Ebrahim Raisi's fourth trip abroad since he took office six months ago.

The two leaders sat side by side as 14 agreements of cooperation were signed in fields ranging in aviation, trade, shipping, media, electricity, culture and education.

The tiny nation of Qatar is the world's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas.   While in Qatar, Raisi will attend the Gas Exporting Countries Forum in Doha.

The forum is likely to focus on tensions over Ukraine and what could happen to Europe's energy supply if Russia were to invade.
