GCC summit opens in Riyadh amid Gulf crisis | Al Jazeera English

Описание: Gulf leaders and officials met in Riyadh for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit on Sunday as a diplomatic crisis continues to grip the Gulf region.

The 39th GCC summit comes amid an ongoing blockade on Qatar imposed in June 2017, by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt.

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani was not in attendance. Instead, a delegation headed by Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Soltan bin Saad Al-Muraikhi was sent to represent the country at the gathering.

Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal reports from Kuwait.
