RFE: Iran's Raisi Attends Qatar Gas Conference Seeking To Bolster Gulf Ties
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says he is hoping to bolster trade and political ties with Gulf nations as he attends a conference of gas-exporting nations in Qatar – the first visit to the country in 11 years by an Iranian president.
"Iran is one of the founders of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) because we are among the three most important gas-producing and exporting countries," Raisi said on February 20 in televised comments before he departed for Qatar.
The journey marks the third foreign trip taken by the ultraconservative Raisi since taking office last August.
