Look: From Sheikh Mohamed, King Charles to PM Modi, world leaders enter COP28 in Dubai

Day 2 of COP28 UAE started on Friday with kings, presidents, and prime ministers entering the gates of Expo City Dubai. Together with their delegations and high-ranking officials, world leaders walked past the country flags that line the pavement leading to the heart of the sprawling Expo site. And conversations among these movers and shakers appeared to have started right on the walk itself. Here are some photos capturing the leaders' arrival at COP28: The UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is seen walking with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Jordanian King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein and other leaders: Here's Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: But delegates face two weeks of tough negotiations on an array of issues that have long plagued climate talks, starting with the future of oil, gas and coal. The spotlight now turns to more than 140 kings, presidents and prime ministers who will address delegates today and Saturday. Britain's King Charles III will kick off those addresses, followed by leaders from nations including the likes of Brazil, Kenya and Tonga. Israeli President Isaac Herzog met his UAE counterpart Sheikh Mohamed on Thursday and will be among the speakers addressing the COP28 conference today.
