We welcome the recent positive developments regarding the resolution of the dispute which has been continuing in the Gulf region since June 2017. We appreciate the sincere efforts of the Kuwaiti leaders who have undertaken intensive contacts and initiatives for the resolution of this dispute.

Our hope is for the resolution of this conflict through unconditional dialogue as soon as possible and for the lifting of the unjust blockade and sanctions that Qatar has been subjected to without further delay.

Turkey will, as it has done to date, continue to exert efforts for the security and stability of the Gulf region in the period ahead.
