Egypt and Qatar have decided to re-establish diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday.
"The Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Qatar on January 20 exchanged official notes, according to which the two countries have agreed to resume diplomatic ties," a press release by the ministry said.
