In what can be considered a very positive start to a new year, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have reopened their airspaces and land and sea borders.<\/p>\n
The summit was attended Qatari emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and mediations led to the end of the three-year diplomatic dispute.<\/p>\n
The Anti-Terror Quartet \u2014 Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain \u2014\u00a0 had imposed a diplomatic, trade and travel embargo on Qatar in June 2017.<\/p>\n
Under the emerging agreement, the four countries will end the blockade of Qatar, and in exchange, Qatar will not pursue lawsuits related to the blockade.<\/p>\n
The news has resulted in people from all across the region expressing their joy at the positive step being taken.<\/p>\n
