In a post on X on Monday, Gharibabadi stated that during his one-day visit, he held talks with Qatar's Minister of State for International Cooperation, Mariam bint Ali bin Nasser Al-Misnad, and Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al-Khulaifi.

The discussions focused on enhancing Iran-Qatar cooperation and exploring ways to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties.

Additionally, Gharibabadi visited Qatar’s National Human Rights Committee, where he agreed with its chair on the importance of experience-sharing between the human rights institutions of both nations.

Iran and Qatar have enjoyed close relations, particularly since 2017, when Tehran extended its full support to Doha amid a regional blockade imposed by several Arab states.
