Abu Dhabi, Jan 8: The Emirates News Agency (WAM) issued an advisory that stated that the UAE will reopen all land, sea and airports with Qatar from Saturday, January 9.
The move developed after the four gulf states resolved their nearly four years-long dispute with its neighbour and re-established ties with Qatar.
In 2017, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt had cut ties with Qatar. However, on Tuesday the nation signed the Al Ula Declaration negotiated by the US that will put a definitive end to the crisis.
Dr Anwar Gargash, UAE's minister of state for foreign affairs said that trade and transport could resume within a week with Qatar. “We are extremely, extremely supportive and positive about the declaration,” said Dr Gargash at a virtual media briefing
