Qatar's blockade not to be discussed in Arab summit


(MENAFN) The Gulf crisis will not be discussed in the Arab summit session taking place in mid-April, a spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.

In exclusive statements to Anadolu Agency, Lolwah al-Khater said Qatar has received an official invitation from Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abul-Gheit to attend the summit in Saudi Arabia on April 15.

Doha has not yet decided on its representation level at the summit, she said.

"We have repeatedly reiterated our commitment to dialogue to resolve the crisis without undermining Qatar's sovereignty and national interests," the spokesperson said.

Last summer, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain collectively severed diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar, creating one of the biggest crises in inter-Arab relations in recent history.
