President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is due to head to Russia's coastal city of Sochi on Monday afternoon for a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and other officials.
He is set to depart from Istanbul's Ataturk Airport at 2.30 p.m. local time (1130GMT).
After meeting Putin one-on-one at the presidential residence, Erdoğan and his delegation will be hosted at a banquet that will be followed by a joint news conference.
The leaders will exchange views on bilateral relations and regional and international developments, particularly Syria.
The last meeting between Erdoğan and Putin was on Sept. 28 in Turkey's capital Ankara.
During Putin's one-day visit, the leaders stressed the territorial integrity of both Iraq and Syria.
Turkey and Russia, together with Iran, are the guarantor countries who brokered a December cease-fire in Syria, which led to the Astana, Kazakhstan talks that are being held in parallel to UN-backed discussions in Geneva to find a political solution to the six-year conflict.
After Russia, Erdoğan will head to Kuwait, which is trying to mediate in the Gulf crisis. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have led since June a boycott on Qatar, a staunch ally of Turkey. The final leg of the trip will take the Turkish leader to Doha.
Following his visit to Kuwait, Erdoğan will proceed to Qatar to attend the third meeting of the Turkey-Qatar Supreme Strategic Committee.
The trip to the Gulf takes place amid rising tensions between regional powers Saudi Arabia and Iran.
