European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini called for swift direct talks to resolve the Gulf crisis between Qatar and its neighbours.
Mogherini’s call came after she met Emir of Kuwait Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah and other officials and expressed EU support for Kuwait’s “relentless mediation efforts” in the dispute.
The emir has been mediating to resolve the crisis after three Gulf states and Egypt cut ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting extremist groups.
Mogherini in a statement on Sunday called on “all the parties to enter into negotiations to agree clear principles and a roadmap for a swift resolution of the crisis”.
