Qatar Says Holding Talks With Saudi Arabia to End Gulf Crisis - Bloomberg:
Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani said his country is holding talks with Saudi Arabia, offering the latest sign that an unprecedented standoff with the kingdom may soon be resolved.
“We have moved from a deadlock in the Gulf crisis to talks about a future vision regarding ties,” he said, according to Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera. “There are talks with the brothers in Saudi Arabia and we hope they will yield positive results.”
The comments come after King Salman of Saudi Arabia invited Qatar’s ruler, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, to attend this month’s summit of Gulf Arab monarchies in Riyadh, a step that would mark a major breakthrough in attempts to end the feud.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic and trade links with Qatar in 2017 after accusing the gas-rich state of building close ties with their chief regional foe, Iran, and funding militant groups.
