He added that they also discussed the current situation in the region, peace process, Syria situation, issues relating to the implementation of the Geneva Declaration 1 and Security Council Resolution No 2254, as well as the situation in Iraq, the SPA added.
Al Jubeir stressed that there are basic principles that all countries, including Qatar, must abide by, including stopping support to terrorism, extremism, incitement and spreading hatred through media, as well as stopping hosting terrorists or those involved in financing of terrorism or wanted in their countries, and not to interfere in the affairs of neighbouring countries.
The French minister expressed concern over the Qatar crisis and its political and economic impact. He pointed out that France was in touch with all parties.
He also praised Saudi efforts to eradicate terrorism.
About France's position on the Qatar crisis, he said it consists of a number of points, including the firm commitment of all to fight terrorism, and stand against those who support and finance terrorism, stressing the need for the GCC countries to stay united as an impenetrable barrier against terrorists.
Le Drian stressed that the crisis must be solved by the Gulf countries themselves, pointing out that France does not want to substitute anyone as it just wants to add its efforts to other countries efforts and support the Kuwaiti mediation.
