Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Qatar for hosting the soccer World Cup and reaffirmed Russia's close ties with the Arab country in a recent communication with Qatar's leader.
Putin specifically said that Russia will work closely with Qatar to ensure the stability of the global gas market, the Kremlin said on Friday, as the Russian president discussed the countries' close ties in a phone call with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al- Say.
Qatar's emir has previously spoken of close ties between Russia and Qatar when the two leaders met at a summit in Kazakhstan's Astana last month.
"After Russia registered a great success in organizing the 2018 World Cup, Russian friends have provided great support to Qatar, especially in the organizational aspect, with the Organizing Committee of the 2022 World Cup," said the Emir of Qatar.
