RIYADH — Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman will hold an informal fraternal meeting with leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, King Abdullah II of Jordan, and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in Riyadh on Friday, Feb. 21. The meeting follows an invitation extended by the Crown Prince to these leaders, the Saudi Press Agency reported quoting an official Saudi source.
This meeting comes within the context of the special friendly meetings that have been held periodically for many years between the leaders of the GCC, Jordan and Egypt, the source said. The meeting is within the framework of the close fraternal relations that bring together these leaders and that contribute to enhancing cooperation and coordination between the GCC countries, Jordan and Egypt.
The decisions taken by Friday’s Riyadh meeting will be on the agenda of the upcoming emergency Arab summit that will be held in Egypt, the source added.
Egypt confirmed on Tuesday that it will host an emergency Arab summit on March 4 to discuss plans to rebuild the Gaza Strip without displacing its Palestinian inhabitants. The summit was originally scheduled to be held on Feb. 27, but was postponed to March 4 “to complete logistical preparations,” the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The ministry said the new date was set in coordination with Bahrain, the current chair of the Arab League, and in consultation with other Arab countries.
