Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Saud Al Thani, Director of the Legal Affairs Department at the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, arrived in Cairo for a two-day visit on Monday. The state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper reported that the Qatari official is leading a delegation from Doha scheduled to meet with Egyptian officials and discuss cooperation between Egypt and Qatar. Last week, bilateral talks took place in Cairo between the Egyptian and Qatari foreign ministers on the sidelines of the 155th session of the Arab League Council. The countries agreed to reconcile during the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)’s summit meeting in al-Ula, Saudi Arabia in January. Delegations from Egypt and Qatar welcomed the re-initiation of relations brought upon by the summit, calling it a step on the path of building confidence between the two countries.
