Dr Abdul Latif bin Rashid Al Zayani, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday denied Bahrain having any dispute with Qatar over the mechanism of dialogue to settle unresolved issues.
Bahrain, the minister said, is committed to the declaration of the 41st Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia.
During his meeting with the editors-in-chief of local newspapers yesterday, the ministry clarified that the delay in restoring ties with Qatar is due to a lack of agreement on mechanisms for resolving the dispute.
“But, there is no dispute over bilateral dialogue mechanism,” the minister stressed.
The minister explained that Bahrain invited the Qatari side three times but elicited zero response.
Bahrain, he said, suggested holding the bilateral meeting of the technical committee at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh.
The Cooperation Council had informed Doha about Bahrain’s request, but they are yet to respond to this proposal.
