ANKARA, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci will visit Qatar on Wednesday amid regional tensions between Gulf states, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
"We do not accept the sanctions imposed on Qatar during Ramadan," Zeybekci said on Wednesday, adding "we are ready to do our best to meet the needs of Qatar."
"The needs of our Qatari brothers have been fulfilled with a high level of performance so far," he said.
According to the economy minister, the two sides will work together on a program during the meeting.
Cavusoglu will hold a bilateral meeting with his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement late Tuesday.
The visit comes after several Arab countries and governments cut diplomatic relations with Qatar last week, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism.
On Wednesday, Turkish presidential spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said at a press conference that Ankara was sending food assistance to Qatar after neighboring Gulf Arab states imposed sanctions on the country.
The crisis surrounding Qatar is damaging for the Islamic world and Turkey is working to help resolve the issue through diplomacy, he noted.
