The Gulf Arab monarchies have resolved a six-month dispute with Qatar, which they had accused of destabilising the region by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, an Omani minister says.
"The crisis in the Gulf has been resolved," Muscat's Foreign Minister Yussef bin Alawi bin Abdullah said after a Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) meeting in the Saudi Red Sea resort of Jeddah.
Relations between Qatar and its Gulf neighbours Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain sank to a new low in March when the three governments withdrew their ambassadors from Doha, accusing it of meddling in their affairs and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.
Oman's foreign minister said the ambassadors would return to their posts in Doha.
The three monarchies accused Qatar of supporting Islamist movements close to the Muslim Brotherhood in other Gulf states and providing a refuge for Islamists from other Arab states.
The six-member GCC comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
