Riyadh (Web Desk): Saudi Arabia has opened its land border with Qatar, Al Jazeera reported.
The announcement came on the eve of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit and could pave the way towards resolving a political dispute that led Riyadh and its allies to impose a boycott on Qatar.
According to Kuwait’s foreign minister, the kingdom is set to reopen its airspace and sea border.
Kuwait and the United States have been trying to end the row in which Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and non-Gulf Egypt severed diplomatic, trade, and travel ties with Qatar in mid-2017, shattering regional unity which Washington says hinders efforts to contain Iran.
Qatar has repeatedly denied the allegations and said there was “no legitimate justification” for the severance of relations.
