The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar attended round-table talks Monday (December 4th) ahead of a regional Gulf summit, in their first such encounter since Riyadh cut all ties with Doha, AFP reported.
The meeting also was attended by UAE state minister for foreign affairs Anwar Gargash and Bahrain's assistant foreign minister, Abdullah al-Dossari.
Oman's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Yussef bin Alawi sat between Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani and his Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir.
Monday's meeting, also attended by the foreign ministers of Kuwait and Oman, is to prepare the agenda for the GCC annual summit in Kuwait City on December 5th and 6th.
It was not immediately known if the foreign ministers and the leaders at the summit will discuss the worst political dispute in the GCC's 36-year history.
