Understanding to further strengthen cooperation

Saudi Minister Salih bin Nasser Al Jasser also met with Qatari Minister of State Jassim Al Sulaiti. The meeting also decided to further strengthen the ongoing historical and strategic ties between Saudi Arabia and Qatar in areas such as brotherhood, neighborhood relations and public affairs in the Gulf region. He hoped that the current visit would lead to greater cooperation and joint work between the two countries.

The Saudi Minister also met with the Prime Minister of Qatar

During his visit to Qatar, Saudi Transport and Logistics Minister Salih bin Nasser Al Jasser met with the Prime Minister of Qatar and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al Thani. The two leaders hoped that the cooperation between the two countries would be further strengthened in the days to come. The three-and-a-half-year embargo imposed on Qatar by Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE, led by Saudi Arabia, has further strained relations between Saudi Arabia and Qatar. However, the agreement was reached at the Al Ula GCC summit in Saudi Arabia in January last year. Since then, relations between the two countries have grown stronger. As part of this, a delegation of ministers from Saudi Arabia visited Qatar.
