Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is set to visit Qatar, signaling solidarity with the Gulf nation after recent Israeli strikes. The visit emphasizes Pakistan's commitment to regional unity and support for Qatar's security.

Accompanied by a high-level delegation, Sharif plans to meet Qatar's ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, offering Pakistan's sympathies and backing to the Qatari people and leadership. The trip is a strategic move amid tensions, reinforcing Pakistan's relations with the energy-rich nation.
