Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jasim al-Jabir al-Thani stated that the emir's visit represents a vital and practical cementing of the reconciliation that took place in Riyadh last December under the auspices of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd Bin Abdel Aziz and Crown Prince Abdallah Bin Abdel Aziz.

He said the crisis between Egypt and Qatar was completely solved at the Riyadh meeting. He expressed his respect and appreciation for Amr Moussa, the Egyptian foreign minister. Then he said that Qatar's Foreign Ministry does not aim to spoil Qatar's relations with the rest of the Arab states.

He said that the closure of the Israeli commercial office in Qatar is very conceivable and said only one employee works at the office now.
