Letter Published in The National UAE on 9 Dec 18Time will tell whether Qatar’s Opec pullout will matter

I refer to your editorial Qatar’s Opec pullout hinders GCC unity (December 4): The National’s editorial was an excellent read. Qatar has already isolated itself from its Arab neighbours and is now pulling out of Opec. This might be due to the fact that GCC countries severed ties with Qatar because of its links to terror groups. But ultimately Qatar has lost its friendship with GCC countries and looks increasingly alone on the international stage.

Time will tell, though, whether Qatar’s pullout from Opec will have any global impact.
