Turkey's foreign minister on Thursday hailed the state of bilateral relations with Qatar.
Speaking at a meeting with Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Doha, Mevlut Cavusoglu said: "Relations between two countries are excellent in all areas."
"Our views overlap because our goal is peace, tranquility, and stability in the region," he added.
Turkey backed Qatar in the Gulf crisis that erupted in June 2017 when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the U.A.E., and Bahrain cut diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar.
Meeting with Cavusoglu, Al Thani said he wants "to further develop relations between the two countries."
During Cavusoglu's visit to Qatar, the latest regional developments will be discussed and preparations for the fourth meeting of the Turkey-Qatar Supreme Strategic Committee will be reviewed.
The third Turkey-Qatar Supreme Strategic Committee meeting was held last November.
