Qatar FM: No more Gulf divergence

Visiting Qatari Foreign Minister Khaled bin Mohammad Al-Attiyah said here on Wednesday Gulf differences have come to an end and it is now up to those countries which recalled their ambassadors from Doha to send them back. Speaking at a joint news conference with Kuwaiti First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamd Al-Sabah, the Qatari minister said: "Divergence of opinions between Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain are already over." But, he confirmed that such results do not mean that concessions were made by anybody. "The brothers in the GCC countries have reached deals which do not mean that concessions were made by any party," he said. He said an inter-Gulf agreement hammered out in Riyadh on April 17 in this regard was "clear-cut". The Qatari foreign minister, who is here to attend a joint committee meeting, highly commended His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah for sponsoring the Riyadh agreement
