Qatar's Emir Won't Join Gulf Summit in Riyadh: Turkey's AA - Bloomberg:
The Qatari Emir, Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, will not join the Gulf Cooperation Council Summit to be held in Riyadh on Sunday, Turkey’s Anadolu Agency reported late Saturday, citing a Qatari official it didn’t identify.
A state minister will represent the country at the meeting instead, AA reported. Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Adbulaziz invited Qatar’s ruler to attend the regional summit in a sign of a potential thaw between the nations.
The invitation, which was extended on Dec. 4, was seen as a way for Saudi Arabia to start to overcome international condemnation for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and its conduct in the Yemen war, and diffuse tensions with its neighbor.
