“Qataris are willing to find a solution to the current dilemma.
“(Kuwait) affirms the readiness of the brothers in Qatar to understand the reality of the qualms and concerns of their brothers and to heed the noble endeavors to enhance security and stability.”
The statement also reaffirmed Kuwait’s willingness to work through the situation
“The state of Kuwait will not abandon its efforts and will continue its good will efforts to patch the rift and find a solution that will deal with the root cause of the causes of the dispute… in the brotherly relations.”
The UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr Anwar Gargash tweeted on Saturday night, elaborating on the UAE’s stance on the situation
