Diplomats meet Russian official

Manama : The Ambassador of Bahrain, Ahmed Abdulrahman Al Sa’ati, the Ambassador of Egypt, Dr Mohammed Al Badri, the Charge d’affaires of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Al Shimari, and the First Secretary at the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed Al Mansoori, met member of Russia’s Duma, Leonid Slutsky yesterday.

The four diplomats briefed him on the damage and losses suffered by their countries as a result of the support of Qatar for terrorist groups over the past years and the political efforts made by these countries to dissuade Doha from its aggressive policies, who did not respond to them.

This, they said, forced the four countries to take the decision to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar to protect their national security and the safety of their peoples and territories.
