DOHA, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi has informed the ambassadors in Qatar with the latest developments of the Gulf crisis, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.

During the three meetings, Muraikhi met separately with ambassadors of African, European and Asian countries, the first of its kind since Qatar was blocked by its Gulf allies, QNA said on Friday.

The meetings were also attended by Qatar's Foreign Ministry's Secretary-General Ahmed bin Hassan Al Hammadi.

Last June, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic relations with the tiny but wealthy Gulf Arab state, accusing it of meddling in their domestic affairs and supporting terrorist groups. But Doha vehemently denies all charges.

Earlier, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad said that countries in the Middle East should put their differences aside and forge a security pact similar to that of the EU.
