he Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani on Friday said Qatar is ready for dialogue to resolve a diplomatic crisis with the Saudi-led bloc, but stressed that any solution to the crisis must respect Doha's sovereignty.
"We are open to dialogue to resolve the outstanding problems. But any solution to the crisis must be based on two principles: first, the solution should be within the framework of respect for the sovereignty and will of each state. Secondly, it should not be in the form of orders by one party to another, but rather as mutual undertakings and joint commitments binding on all," the Emir said in a televised address to the nation, his first since the crisis broke out on June 5.
The Emir said the spirit of solidarity, harmony and defiance that had prevailed among the people of Qatar in the face of the unjust siege frustrated the hopes of those who banked on the opposite.
"People are amazed to see Qatari people maintaining high level of morale despite the unprecedented smear campaign," the Emir added.

....The Emir said,"We are not afraid of identifying and correcting our error. This crisis has helped us identify and overcome the shortcomings and obstacles in determining Qatar's national, political, economic and independent identity."
The Emir valued Kuwait's mediation and the support of the United States, Turkey and Germany to the efforts to resolve the crisis.
The Emir thanked Turkey for"putting into force quickly a cooperation agreement signed between us and meeting our basic needs".
The Emir said,"Qatar stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people, especially people in Al Quds (Jerusalem) and condemns the closure of the Al Aqsa Mosque."
