UAE, Qatar review Al-Ula Declaration

Two official delegations representing the United Arab Emirates and Qatar met in the Qatari capital Doha on Thursday, to follow up on the Al-Ula Declaration issued by the Gulf Summit that was hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2021…reports Asian Lite News

This is the third meeting the two sides have held since the January 2021 signing of the agreement, which is aimed at bolstering Gulf unity, state news agency WAM reported.

During the meeting, the two sides discussed joint mechanisms and procedures for implementing the Al-Ula Declaration, and articulated the importance of consolidating relations between the two countries and developing joint work to achieve their common interests.

A Saudi-led Arab quartet, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt, cut diplomatic ties with Qatar in June 2017 and imposed a full embargo on the Gulf state, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism. Qatar has repeatedly denied all the charges.

Following the signing of the Al-Ula Declaration, UAE had ended all measures taken against Qatar and re-opened all land, sea and air ports for inbound and outbound movement.

The Court held that the UAE’s actions could not be racial discrimination, in accordance with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and therefore rejected Qatar’s claim under the Convention.
