Qatar, Bahrain to resume diplomatic relations
The Qatari-Bahraini Follow-up Committee has decided to restore diplomatic relations between Qatar and Bahrain.
The move is in line with the principles of the United Nations Charter and the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.
The Qatar News Agency (QNA) disclosed this in Doha on Thursday.
The decision was made during the second meeting of the committee at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the QNA said.
Both sides said the decision stemmed from a mutual desire to foster bilateral relations and promote integration and unity within the Gulf region, in accordance with the principles outlined in the GCC Charter.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt broke diplomatic ties with Qatar in 2017 and imposed sanctions and blockades, due to religious and geopolitical rows.
During a GCC summit in 2021, Saudi Arabia and other countries lifted the boycotts and resumed links with Qatar.
