Qatar’s emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud discussed the bilateral relations between the two countries and the ways to strengthen them further, media reports said.
The meeting, which took place at the Amiri Diwan on Wednesday evening, also dealt with ways to support and enhance joint Gulf action to achieve security and stability in the region, in addition to discussing the most prominent regional and international developments of joint interest, the reports said.
During the meeting, Mohammed bin Salman conveyed the greetings of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, to the Amir, and his wishes of good health and happiness for the Qatari people.
For his part, the Amir entrusted HRH the Crown Prince with his wishes of good health and wellness to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and for further prosperity and progress to the Saudi people, the reports said.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Amir Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Thani; the Personal Representative of the Amir, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani; Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al-Thani, and several other ministers and dignitaries.
The Saudi side also comprised Princes and ministers and members of the official delegation accompanying the Crown Prince.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain cut all links with Qatar in June 2017, alleging it backed radical Islamist groups and was too close to Riyadh’s rival Tehran — allegations Doha denied.
But relations were fully restored in January after a landmark summit in the Saudi desert city of Al-Ula.
