Here’s what’s happened since last week’s updates: Qatar knows what’s required to return as an active GCC member: Saudi Arabia
Kuwaiti Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah on Wednesday announced that talks between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to find a solution to the Gulf crisis are ongoing.
During a news conference he held with his Dutch counterpart Steve Block in Kuwait, Al-Sabah said: "Saudi Arabia is a great brotherly country and we do communicate with them at all times and places and on all issues."
Kuwait has been playing a mediating role between Qatar and the Saudi-led boycotters since the outbreak of the crisis in 2017.
The remarks came a few days after Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Doha is still counting on Kuwait and other regional powers to help solve the Persian Gulf crisis, and revive the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), reported Press TV.
“The (Kuwait) Emir has had a big leadership role in calming the situation which is highly appreciated by Qatar. We continue to count on the role of Kuwait and on the countries in the region to bring it (the GCC) back together,” Sheikh Mohammed said on Saturday.
“...We believe that we are more relevant as a bloc for those countries than we are separate and fragmented,” he added.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt all cut off diplomatic ties with Qatar on June 5 last year, after officially accusing it of “sponsoring terrorism.”
