Bahrain: "no way to reconcile with Qatar"


(MENAFN) Bahrain's Minister of Foreign Affairs has said that his country will not look to mitigate the blockade of Qatar, Gulf News reported yesterday.

"With what we see from the Qatari regime, there is no way of reconciliation considering the time that we are in, the conspiracies, interventions, the abuse and the lack of respect to commitments," insisted Khalid Bin Ahmad Al-Khalifa at the opening session of the Arab Media Forum in Dubai.

"There is no way." He went on to say that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is not "dependent on Qatar."

In early June, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain severed diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the Middle East, while Qatar denied the accusations, describing attempts to diplomatically isolate it as a violation of international law and its national sovereignty.
