Qatar has dismissed as "baseless" renewed accusations that it was interfering in the affairs of other states and financing terrorism.
"The State of Qatar's position on terrorism is consistent and known for its rejection and condemnation of all forms of terrorism, whatever the causes and motives," the state news agency said, quoting a senior foreign ministry source.
This is Qatar's first public response to a statement made by four Arab states leading the boycott against Qatar.
The four - Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain - said in a joint statement late on Thursday that Doha's refusal to accept their demands to end the diplomatic standoff was proof of its links to terrorist groups.
