Saudi foreign minister arrives in Qatar for first time since 2017 rift


  • English
  • Arabic

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan arrived in Qatar on Monday for the first time since a three-year rift between Qatar and the kingdom, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt ended.

His delegation was greeted at Doha International airport by Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The pair discussed enhancing bilateral ties and regional issues, Qatari state media said.

In February, Saudi Arabia sent a delegation to meet Qatari officials in Kuwait after restoring diplomatic, trade and travel ties with the gas-rich Gulf nation the month before.

Following the agreement, which restored diplomatic ties between Qatar and its neighbours, Qatari officials have met UAE, Saudi, Bahraini and Egyptian officials to discuss bilateral and regional issues.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
