Demands made of Qatar by four other Arab states were designed to be rejected, Doha's foreign minister said on Saturday.
However Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, speaking to reporters in Rome, added Doha was still ready to sit down and discuss the grievances raised by its Arab neighbours.
"This list of demands is made to be rejected. It's not meant to be accepted or ... to be negotiated," Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said, adding that Qatar was willing to engage in further dialogue given "the proper conditions".
He was speaking ahead of a deadline set by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt for Doha to accept 13 demands, which was handed over by Kuwait to Doha nearly 10 days ago.
