Giorgia Meloni completed her two-day visit to the Persian Gulf on Saturday, with stops in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, following Friday's visit to Saudi Arabia for consultations on the area's security and energy supplies from the region, blocked by the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Prime Minister was received in Doha by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, with whom she discussed ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war in the Middle East.
