A high-level delegation led by Qatari Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani arrived in Cairo on Tuesday for a two-day visit. Thani will meet with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, to discuss Egyptian-Qatari relations along with regional development, Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. Egypt and Qatar met in Kuwait in February for the first time since ending the years-long diplomatic freeze between the two countries in January. The countries agreed to reconcile during the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)’s summit meeting in al-Ula, Saudi Arabia in January. Following the reconciliation, Egypt’s Aviation Ministry reopened Egypt’s airspace to Qatari flights on January 12.
