SHAFAQNA-
Talks between US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and several Persian Gulf Arab states aimed at ending a rift with Qatar have come to an end without any breakthrough.
On Wednesday, Tillerson returned to Kuwait from Saudi Arabia without issuing a statement on the outcome of his talks with Saudi officials, including dignitaries.
“We’re happy to see this continuous cooperation between us, and to even strengthen and increase it further without limits,” said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud in relation to Tillerson’s trip.
The US State Department has announced that Tillerson will be traveling to Qatar on Thursday to brief Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on his talks in Jeddah.
“I appreciate the joint interests that we share, our two countries, our mutual interests here in terms of stability for the region and economic prosperity for the region as well. It is a very important and strong partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia,” said Tillerson.
On Tuesday, Tillson signed an agreement with Al Thani aimed at combating “terrorism financing,” a deal Saudi Arabia and its allies branded as being “insufficient.”
