Bahrain and Qatar hold talks following AlUla agreement



Ministers from Bahrain and Qatar met for talks in Riyadh this week following the 2021 AlUla declaration to normalise ties.

The meeting was held at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Gulf Co-operation Council.

Bahrain's delegation was led by Dr Abdullatif Al Zayani, Minister of Foreign Affairs, while Qatar's Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, represented his nation.

The AlUla Declaration, issued at the AlUla Summit in Saudi Arabia in January 2021, followed a years-long dispute between Qatar and its Gulf neighbours over Doha's support for radical groups in the region.

The dispute ended with a firm pledge to strengthen the Arab alliance against Iran.

At present, there are no direct flights between Qatar and Bahrain, but discussions towards resuming them are taking place.

What is double taxation?
  • Americans living abroad file taxes with the Internal Revenue Service, which can cost hundreds of dollars to complete even though about 60 per cent do not owe taxes, according to the Taxpayer Advocate Service
  • Those obligations apply to millions of Americans residing overseas – estimates range from 3.9 million to 5.5 million – including so-called "accidental Americans" who are unaware they hold dual citizenship
  • The double taxation policy has been a contentious issue for decades, with many overseas Americans feeling that it punishes them for pursuing opportunities abroad
  • Unlike most countries, the US follows a citizenship-based taxation system, meaning that Americans must file taxes annually, even if they do not earn any income in the US.
