The outcomes of the summit confirmed the end of the Gulf crisis that began in June 2017, and led to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt severing their political and diplomatic relations, and closing the borders and airspace with Qatar.
The Al-Ula summit also stressed that no state’s sovereignty be violated or its security targeted.
It is noteworthy that, prior to the summit, Kuwait announced the opening of the airspace and the land and sea borders between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
