History

The UAE and Qatar have shared diplomatic relations since the formation of the UAE in 1971. However, on 5 June 2017, as part of the Qatar diplomatic crisis, the UAE cut diplomatic relations with Qatar.[4]

On 6 January 2021, Qatar and the UAE agreed to fully restore diplomatic ties.[5]

On 19 June 2023, the Qatari embassy in Abu Dhabi, a consulate in Dubai, and the Emirati embassy in Doha reopened and resumed work.[6][7][8]

His Excellency Sheikh Zayed Bin Khalifa Bin Sultan Bin Shakhboot Al-Nahyan presented his credentials to Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, in September 2023.[2] Prior to his appointment in Qatar, the ambassador held various advisory positions in the government.[9]
