The Government of the Republic of Djibouti has decided to reduce the level of its diplomatic representation with the State of Qatar. The Djiboutian government said in a statement today that the decision came after a thorough study of the causes of the crisis in relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt with the State of Qatar, adding that this decision also comes in solidarity with the Arab Coalition to combat terrorism and extremism. The Republic of Djibouti stressed that it would remain committed to its distinguished relations with various Arab countries and at the same time, it called upon the concerned parties to resolve the dispute through dialogue, cooperation and solidarity of Arab countries.
