Russian President Vladimir Putin has appointed Dmitry Dogadkin, who previously headed the Russian diplomatic mission in Oman, as Russia's new ambassador to Qatar. The corresponding decrees of the head of state were published on Tuesday on the official portal of legal information.
The 54-year-old Dogadkin replaced Nurmakhmad Kholov as ambassador to Qatar, who had been in charge of the Russian diplomatic mission in that country since 2013.
Ilya Morgunov, 62, was appointed to the post of the Russian ambassador to Oman, which Dogadkin had held since late 2017. Prior to that, the diplomat served as chief advisor in the Middle East and North Africa Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Previously, he was Russia's ambassador to Iraq.
