Leaders from across Europe, Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East have travelled to Doha to offer their condolences to Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani following the death of his father, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
The visits came as Qatar continued a four-day period of national mourning for the former ruler, who died on Sunday at the age of 74.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was among the first European heads of government to arrive and met Sheikh Tamim at Lusail Palace to express her condolences.
