Bahrain and Qatar decided, on Wednesday, to restore diplomatic relations between them, in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter and the provisions of the Vienna Treaty on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.

The two sides affirmed that this step comes out of a mutual desire to develop bilateral relations and enhance Gulf integration and unity, in accordance with the purposes of the Statute of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and out of respect for the principles of equality between states, national sovereignty and independence, territorial integrity, and good neighborliness.

This came during the second meeting of the Bahraini-Qatari Follow-up Committee, at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh, who reviewed the outcomes of the first meeting of both the Joint Legal Committee and the Joint Security Committee.

The delegations of the two countries were headed by Sheikh Abdullah bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, Undersecretary of the Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Political Affairs, and Dr. Ahmed Al Hammadi, Secretary General of the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
