Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani
Yemen's internationally recognised government said on Sunday it had restored diplomatic ties withQatarafter four years of boycott led by Saudi Arabia and joined by other Arab countries.
Saudi Arabia and its allies had agreed at a summit in January to end the political row which led to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cutting trade, travel and diplomatic ties withQatarin mid-2017. Yemen's Saudi-backed government had followed suit.
Qatardenied their accusations that it supports terrorism.

A statement by theQatari foreign ministry said the two ministers reviewed bilateral relations but did not mention restoration of ties. TheQatargovernment media office did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment.
QatarForeign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani during the meeting underlined the need for a political solution to end the six-year war in Yemen, the statement said.
