KUWAIT CITY (Dispatches) – Kuwaiti efforts aimed at ending the crisis among Persian Gulf states have not and will never stop until the crisis is over, Al-Qabas newspaper reported officials saying.
According to Kuwaiti representatives, efforts to restore political relations and support the unity of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are ongoing.
The sources ruled out the involvement of new mediators, stressing on Kuwaiti and American eagerness to solve this crisis, in addition to support by other Persian Gulf states, which believe in the importance of ending this issue to prepare for confronting global and economic challenges.
According to the Kuwaiti newspaper, the sources "expected a new energetic launch of the efforts and seeing satisfactory solutions far from discords and inconsistency.”
In mid-2017, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt abruptly severed ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorist groups. Charges Doha denies.
On 20 October, Kuwaiti Prime Minister Subah Al-Khalid Al-Subah said: "Kuwait is to continue its efforts to end the differences among the brothers.”
Days later, a number of Qatari officials declared that the end of the crisis among Persian Gulf states "is on the horizon, but it will take some time and will be gradual.”
Previous Kuwaiti and Omani efforts to end the crisis have failed.
