Saudi Arabia to open its border with Qatar
Saudi Arabia will open its border with Qatar to allow Muslim pilgrims attend the annual hajj in Mecca. The announcement came after the first high-level meeting between the neighbours since Saudi Arabia and 3 other states cut all links in June.
They accuse Qatar of aiding terrorism, a charge the emirate denies.
The closure of the Saudi border has forced Qatar to import food by sea and air for its population of 2.7 million.
