Doha: President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is visiting Qatar on Monday indicating a thaw in relations between the two neighbours, state news agency WAM reported.

This is the first official visit of a UAE ruler nearly two years after Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies ended a boycott of Doha. These countries had boycotted Qatar for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.

In an effort to improve the bilateral relations between the two counties, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani invited Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan who became the President earlier this year.
