Al Mouallimi was quoted as saying there would be "no compromise" when it comes to asking Qatar to accept the six principles - but that he thought it should be "easy" for the Qataris to accept them.
Erdogan had already announced this trip, then not dated, after returning from the G20 summit in Germany and said he would make efforts to resolve the conflict between Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt with Qatar over its alleged support to terrorist organisations, Efe news reported.
The allies broke off ties with Qatar largely over their allegations that it finances and supports terrorism, a charge that Qatar rejects.
"Of course we are all for compromise but there will be no compromise on these six principles", Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations, told reporters, as cited by the media.
A report by the state-run Qatar News Agency, stated that the demands issued by Saudi-led bloc of Arab countries against Qatar have been dismissed by Doha after it was thoroughly reviewed by it's ministry of foreign affairs.
Mouallimi said closing Al Jazeera might not be necessary but stopping incitement to violence and hate speech was essential.
UAE Permanent Representative Lana Nusseibeh warned that if Qatar was "unwilling to accept core principles around what defines terrorism or extremism in our region, it will be very difficult" for it to remain in the Gulf Co-operation Council.
The four countries accuse Qatar of supporting groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, and say Qatar has given citizenship to wanted Brotherhood members and other Islamists.
