Iranian and Qatari Leaders Meet at Russian Energy Forum
Listen to the story
Leaders from Iran and Qatar met at a Russian energy forum. The meeting happened in Russia. News about the meeting came from Al Jazeera.
An energy forum is a big meeting. People talk about oil and gas there. Many countries send leaders to these meetings.
Iran and Qatar are two countries in the Middle East. Both countries have a lot of natural gas. Natural gas is used for heat and power.
Russia also has a lot of energy. Russia often invites other countries to its energy events. This helps countries talk about business and politics.
The news report does not give more details. We do not know what the leaders said. We do not know their names.
This short story is about a meeting, not about new plans. More news may come later about this meeting.
