Abu Dhabi: The UAE, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kingdom of Bahrain and the Arab Republic of Egypt have issued a joint statement, which reads as follows:
The four countries assert that the documents published by CNN, including the Riyadh Agreement (2013), its Executive Mechanism and the Riyadh Supplementary Agreement (2014), confirm beyond any doubt Qatar’s failure to meet its commitments and its full violation of its pledges.
The four countries emphasise that the 13 demands submitted to the Qatari government were to fulfil their previous pledges and commitments and that the demands were originally stated in the Riyadh Agreement, its mechanism and the Supplementary Agreement and are fully in line with the spirit of what was agreed upon.
