Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani will meet US President Donald Trump on 10 April in Washington, the state news agency QNA reported on 5 April.
Trump met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on 21 March and his meeting with Qatari Emir will be followed by a meeting with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.
Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut off travel and trade ties with Qatar last June, accusing it of backing their archrival, Iran, and supporting terrorism.
Qatar has denied the charges and has said the boycott was an attempt to impinge on its sovereignty and rein in its support for reform.
