Cairo: Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has arrived in Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials amid growing signs of improving ties between the two countries after strains of more than three years.
The Qatari official, who is leading a high-level delegation, will meet his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shukry for talks on cooperation links between Egypt and Qatar, the Egyptian semi-official newspaper Akhbar Al Youm reported. They will also discuss the latest developments in the region including the Palestinian problem amid efforts to shore up a ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers.
The two-day visit is part of an Arab region that already took the Qatari minister to Egypt’s neighbours Libya and Sudan to discuss the regional scene.
