MANILA, Philippines — The emir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, is flying to the Philippines today for a two-day state visit upon the invitation of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Prior to this schedule, the Qatari leader came over for a state visit about 12 years ago in 2012.
