Qatar Crisis Off The Table In Kuwait Talks

“Talks revolved around regional and local developments, major security and economic challenges, and efforts to confront them,” Kuwaiti government sources told Al Qabas newspaper.

“Kuwaiti efforts to cement Gulf ranks have not and will not stop. These endeavours will resume,” the sources added. “All parties are keen not to allow the disagreement not to prolong. Solutions are being worked,” they added without elaborating.

In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt broke off diplomatic and transportation links with Qatar over its support for extremist groups.

The quartet has set several conditions to mend ties with Qatar, including the emirate’s severance of links with militant and terror groups.

Doha has refused the conditions, saying they violate its sovereignty.

Kuwait has since attempted to resolve the row, but without success so far.

During a Middle East trip last week, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called for unity among the allied six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The grouping comprises the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman.
