TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - This is the first meeting since tensions between Qatar and Saudi Arabia as well as Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt began 10 months ago.
Last June, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and the UAE imposed a land, naval and air blockade on import-dependent Qatar, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism, an allegation strongly denied by Doha.
The Saudi-led quartet presented Qatar with a list of demands and gave it an ultimatum to comply with them or face consequences.
Doha, however, refused to meet the demands and stressed that it would not abandon its independent foreign policy.
