Qatar's Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani named Dr. Sultan Salmeen Saeed Al Mansouri as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United Arab Emirates.

The move marks a major diplomatic milestone six years after the UAE severed all ties with Qatar.

The decision follows the restoration of diplomatic ties between Qatar and the UAE on June 19, 2023, which included the restart of operations at the Qatar Embassy in Abu Dhabi and its consulate in Dubai, as well as the UAE Embassy in Doha.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, welcomed on Tuesday US President Donald Trump in Riyadh as he embarked on his first official visit abroad since his reelection. 

The visit aims to deepen the strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia.   

Trump is also set to visit the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.   

The Saudi government, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, welcomed the visit on Monday, hoping it would bolster cooperation and the partnership between the Kingdom and the US.   

Prior to his departure, Trump had described his visit to the Gulf as “historic”.   

Saudi Arabia was the destination of Trump's first foreign visit during his first term in office in 2017.
