Turkey and Qatar announced on Friday that they signed a mutual defence agreement, which they said was aimed at adopting a "unified position" in the face of an external attack. The announcement came after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Istanbul. Erdogan had said the agreement would further strengthen ties between the regional allies, according to his office. Qatar's ruler travelled to Istanbul after attending the United Nations COP31 climate summit in southern Turkey.
