WASHINGTON, 28th June, 2017 (WAM) -- There would be no negotiations over demands by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other boycotting nations for Qatar to stop supporting terrorism, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir has stated.

The minister has made the statements in a meeting at the Saudi embassy in Washington with reporters.

"The measures taken towards Qatar in its capacity as a neighboring sisterly country, are painful to us but its non-abidance with Riyadh Arrangement, its support for extremist and terrorist groups as well as its provocation and interfering in domestic affairs of a number of countries is unacceptable, not only for the boycotting countries but to all countries of the world, hoping that wisdom would prevail and be observed by our brothers in Qatar and they stop such support and interference," he added.

The Saudi foreign minister noted, "We have presented a list of demands to Qatar, made our point, explained our position and took our decision. This list of demands is non-negotiable and should be implemented in full."
