answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>We regularly raise a range of issues with the Government of Qatar at all levels. The UK remains very concerned by the ongoing tensions in the Gulf. The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary and other ministers are engaging with our Gulf friends to encourage de-escalation and to get firmly behind Kuwait’s mediation efforts to resolve the dispute. The Foreign Secretary spoke most recently to the Qatari Foreign Minister on these issues on 23rd November. Qatar is a partner of the UK in the fight against terrorism, and the Government has welcomed the Emir of Qatar’s commitment to tackle terrorism in all its manifestations, including terrorist financing, and his pledge to resolve remaining differences with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain through dialogue, negotiation and Kuwaiti mediation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 05/12/2017 17:03:51 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The UK continues to be deeply concerned by the tensions in the Gulf. The continuation of the dispute threatens the long-term security, stability and economies of States in the region and is in no-one's interests. The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, other Ministers and I are engaging with all our partners in the Gulf to encourage de-escalation and to get firmly behind Kuwait’s mediation efforts. For the Gulf’s stability and security it is crucial that Gulf Cooperation Council unity is restored. All sides need to maintain a dialogue and find a resolution that everyone can support to restore Gulf Cooperation Council unity. The Foreign Secretary is in regular contact with his counterparts on next steps.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/07/2017 12:11:56 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
