<p>We are deeply concerned by the tensions in the Gulf. The continuation of this dispute
which threatens the long-term security, stability and economies of States in the region
is in no-one's interests. This is why the British Government wants to see Gulf unity
restored and for all parties to take steps to build confidence.</p><p>That means Qatar's
neighbours must ensure their demands are measured and realistic. Qatar also needs
to take steps to engage on the substance of its neighbours' concerns and build on
the progress already made on counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation in partnership
with other Gulf countries.</p><p>The Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and I have
spoken regularly to our counterparts in the region, as well as to US, French and EU
partners. We want to support the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in finding a swift
solution.</p>
