Sources told Reuters that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was planning to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Qatar; but the lack of coordination and agreement in their plans prevents this meeting.
According to Pak Sahafat news agency, Reuters quoted an informed source as saying that a direct meeting between Erdogan and Mohammed bin Salman in Qatar was not possible this week; but it may happen soon.
A Turkish official and another Gulf official who is aware of the trip plans say talks are under way between the two sides in Qatar; but “there is no agreement on the plans, so there does not seem to be a comprehensive meeting.”
“But there is a lot of opportunity for cooperation to resolve regional issues,” he said, adding, “but this meeting may be held sooner.”
