Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday (10 May) hosted the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in the Saudi port city of Jeddah, as the two countries strive to put behind them past differences.
The newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat said the Emir will discuss with Mohammed bin Salman, regional and international matters of common interests.
The Emir of Qatar had previously led his country's delegation to the 41st Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Saudi Arabia in January, opening up the prospects for Gulf reconciliation after a tense period of mutual recriminations.
The visit of the Qatari leader to Saudi Arabia coincides with a visit of Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu to the Kingdom amid speculation that Doha is playing a mediating role between Riyadh and Ankara.
