The meeting focused on bilateral relations and ways to further develop cooperation between the two countries, especially in the economic and trade fields and vital investment projects that serve the process of construction, development and progress as well as the realization of the common interests of the two countries.
The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia welcomed the Emir of Qatar to Jeddah on his first visit after the January AlUla GCC statement that restored relations between the two sister nations.
In January, the Crown Prince met with the Emir of Qatar on the sidelines of the GCC summit. The summit saw all Gulf countries sign the AlUla declaration which Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said officially ended the dispute with Qatar.
