Sheikh Tamim says, Any Talks Must Respect 🇶🇦Qatar Sovereignty

Qatari Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, said that his country is ready for dialogue to resolve a diplomatic crisis with a Saudi-led group, but stressed that any solution to the crisis must respect his country's sovereignty.

"We are open to dialogue to resolve the outstanding problems [so long as Qatar's] sovereignty is respected,"

Al Thani said, his first since Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt cut ties with the peninsula.

The emir thanked Turkey for "putting into force quickly a cooperation agreement signed between us and meeting our basic needs".

Qatar was targeted by the unprecedented campaign, Al Thani said, adding that he valued Kuwait's mediation and the support of the United States, Turkey and Germany for their efforts to resolve the crisis.
