Saudi Crown Prince’s trip to Qatar.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrived in Doha, the capital of Qatar, as the third destination of his regional trips.
He has previously traveled to Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
This is bin Salman’s first visit to Qatar since the crisis between the four Arab countries and Qatar in 2017.
In 2017, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE accused Qatar of supporting terrorism and severed ties. During this period, four countries also imposed sanctions on Qatar and closed their skies and borders to it.
Last year, under pressure from Trump in the run-up to the presidential election, these countries were forced to normalize relations with Doha and put aside hostilities, which was implemented at a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in the Saudi city of Al-Ala.
Diplomatic sources in Riyadh have previously announced that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will begin an unannounced period of travel to GCC member states on Monday aimed at resolving geopolitical disputes and boosting co-operation.
