Is the two-rak'ah prayer of arrival performed in any country a traveler reaches?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: If a person arrives in a country that is not his own, is it recommended for him to pray two rak'ahs in one of its mosques?

Answer:
By "his own country," I mean when he returns to his home country. As for a country other than his own, he is still considered a traveler; he has not yet arrived [at his destination] and remains a traveler.
