DUBAI: Gulf cohesion will be restored at the “historic” GCC summit being held Tuesday in Saudi Arabia's AlUla, according to the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

“We are before a historic summit in AlUla, through which we restore Gulf cohesion and we are keen to ensure that the security, stability and prosperity of our countries and peoples are the first priority,” Anwar Gargash said on Twitter.

“We have more work to do and we are moving in the right direction,” he added.

Gargash's comments come after it was announced on Monday that Saudi Arabia would reopen its airspace and land and sea borders to Qatar.
