Qatar's ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Thursday thanked Iranian President Hassan Rouhani for his country's stance from the Qatari crisis and helping it overcome the repercussions of the Gulf boycott.
In a telephone conversation, the emir "expressed his gratitude to the Iranian president for Iran's stance towards the boycott (of the Arab Quartet) to Qatar and its contribution to alleviate its economic impacts", said a statement from Qatar News Agency QNA.
The agency said the telephone call was used to exchange greetings between the pair for Ramadan.
Tehran said recently that trade between the two countries had risen by $250 million in the 12 months to March as Doha becomes more reliant upon Iranian imports such as food products.
