Egypt stressed that Qatar was invited to the weekend’s inaugural Arab League-European Union summit through the “appropriate” way, said an informed Egyptian source.
Doha had lowered its level of representation at the two-day summit that got underway in Sharm el-Sheikh on Sunday.
It explained that it did not receive an invitation through the normal channels.
The source countered by saying the suitable means were taken.
Media reports said that Cairo had sent Doha the invitation through the Greek embassy in Qatar, forcing it to lower its level of representation.
The source hoped that attention would be focused on the agenda of the summit and avoid giving too much attention to statements made by Qatar.
