Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said that the Qatar crisis needs to be resolved peacefully through dialogue.
Çavuşoğlu and Minister of Economy Nihat Zeybekci visited Qatar's capital city Doha, and held talks with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Minister of Economy and Trade Ahmed bin Jassim.
Turkey has backed Qatar in the diplomatic row and President Recepy Tayyip Erdoğan's spokesman said on Wednesday that the rift was damaging the Islamic world and Ankara would do all it could through diplomatic channels to prevent any escalation.
After evaluating the discussions in Qatar, it was decided that Çavuşoğlu would visit Kuwait.
Upon the invitation of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Çavuşoğlu will head to Mecca on Friday.
