Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when his Department last participated in multi-national discussions on the diplomatic relationship between Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

The UK is a longstanding partner of both Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We urge all sides to engage with Kuwaiti mediation efforts and take steps to find a resolution to intra-GCC dispute, which is in the long term interests of all parties. The UK maintains working-level discussions with the GCC, including technical discussions on cyber security, aid transparency, and marine environmental protection.
