Qatar’s full ties restored with other Gulf nations: Saudi Arabia minister

The UAE News web report: Qatar is back to normal relations with other Gulf countries with the restoration of full ties during the 41st session of GCC countries in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Full ties have been restored between Qatar and the Gulf nations, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said on Tuesday.

“What happened today is the turning of the page on all points of difference and a full return of diplomatic relations,” Prince Faisal bin Farhan told a Press conference at the conclusion of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Saudi Arabia.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who led the UAE's delegation, said the summit had brought unity to the region. “The changes and challenges surrounding us require strength, cohesion and real Gulf cooperation,” he tweeted.

Leaders of the six-member GCC signed two documents on Tuesday, the Al Ula Declaration, named after the Saudi city where this year's regional summit was held, and a final communique.

Saudi Arabia had led a coalition of countries in the Gulf and beyond to cut ties and transport links
