Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has extended invitations to the leaders of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Jordan and Egypt for an informal meeting set to take place in Riyadh on Friday, according to an official source on Thursday.
The upcoming gathering continues a long-standing tradition of periodic high-level discussions among these nations, fostering deeper regional cooperation and coordination on key issues. Such meetings have been instrumental in aligning diplomatic efforts and economic strategies among participating countries.
A key topic of discussion is expected to be joint Arab action, with outcomes potentially shaping the agenda for the Extraordinary Arab Summit scheduled for March 4 in Egypt. The summit, to be held in Cairo, will serve as a platform for broader regional discussions and decision-making on pressing matters affecting the Arab world.
While the details of the Riyadh meeting remain undisclosed, analysts anticipate that regional security, economic collaboration and diplomatic initiatives will be central themes. Given the geopolitical landscape, the meeting may also address ongoing developments in the Middle East, including economic partnerships and stability measures.
