Qatar, Saudi Discuss Strengthening Military Ties

Jeddah, MINA – Qatari Defence Minister, Khalid Al-Attiyah discussed strengthening military relations with Saudi Arabia with the kingdom’s Assistant Defence Minister, Talal Al-Otaibi.

The discussion came during a meeting that brought both officials together in Singapore, MEMO reported on Monday.

The Saudi Defence Ministry said in a statement that the two officials had discussed “topics of common interest, as well as ways to enhance relations between both countries.”

Riyadh and Doha re-established ties in 2021 after 3.5 years during which Riyadh carried out an air, lane and sea siege of Doha.
