DOHA, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Bahraini King on Saturday discussed with foreign ministers of the four Arab countries to explore ways for ending Qatar diplomatic crisis, Bahrain News Agency (BNA) reported.
The second meeting between King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain was held in Manama, BNA said.
King Al Khalifa and the ministers mainly discussed the Qatari crisis and the agreement reached by the foreign ministers of the Arab quartet during a meeting in Cairo on July 5.
The king also hailed the Arab countries' efforts in fighting terrorism and extremism.
The four Arab countries have severed diplomatic ties with Qatar early last month, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism, interfering in their internal affairs and seeking closer ties with Iran, a Saudi rival.
Qatar strongly denied the charges against it, while rejecting a list of 13 demands put forward by the bloc for resuming diplomatic ties.
Kuwait has been trying to mediate the crisis and several top Western diplomats have toured the region to try to defuse the row, including U.S. Secretary of States Rex Tillerson.
On Thursday, Qatar's foreign minister accused Gulf neighbors and Egypt of "stubbornness" in their ongoing diplomatic dispute and said the UN should step in to help resolve the crisis.
