The leaders of Gulf countries arrived in Saudi Arabia’s AlUla for the 41st Gulf Cooperation Council summit.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, received the dignitaries upon their arrival.
Arrivals included Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Crown Prince of Bahrain Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa, Oman’s deputy Prime Minister Fahad al-Said and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani also arrived in AlUla after Monday’s announcement that Saudi Arabia was reopening its land border and airspace to Doha.
Saudi Arabia made the move in response to the efforts at Gulf reconciliation exerted by the Emir of Kuwait.
The AlUla declaration, an agreement aimed at ending the Gulf rift, is to be signed in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
