Qatar on Thursday accused Gulf neighbours and Egypt of"stubbornness" in their ongoing diplomatic dispute and said the United Nations should step in to help resolve the crisis.
Foreign Minister HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York to discuss the Gulf crisis.
"There is a role for the Security Council and for the General Assembly and all the United Nations mechanisms, because of course the violations have continued," the FM told reporters after his meeting with Guterres.
"Qatar will spare no effort to overcome these violations through the right channels, pointing out that the UN is the right platform to start with," the FM said."We are seeing from the other side of the conflict this stubbornness without even taking any forthcoming step to solve this problem," he said.
He said,"Qatar has already stated more than ten times that we want to solve this issue by dialogue, and we are not willing to escalate, and they need to retreat from all their illegal actions." (AFP)
