EU-Gulf Summit Postponed Due to Houthi Attacks

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has postponed the summit with the European Union, scheduled to be held in Riyadh on October 24.

elchi reports that this was stated in a statement by the organization’s Secretary-General, Jasem al-Budaiwi.

“The decision to postpone the summit between the Gulf countries and the European Union was made to ensure the safety of the participating delegations, taking into account the Houthi attempts to strike the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the document states.

The statement also indicated that the decision was influenced by the long-term suspension of operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which was subjected to several attacks over the past weekend. The new date for the event will be agreed upon additionally between the parties.
