KUWAIT, Nov 18 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah affirmed Sunday that the next Gulf summit will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in December and will be attended by all Gulf countries.
This came during his participation in the celebration of the Palestinian Embassy on the 30th Palestinian Declaration of Independence.
"I am optimistic that the level of representation is expected to be high and reflects the keenness of GCC leaders to maintain this pioneering experience," Al-Jarallah said.
Al-Jarallah noted that the Ministerial Committees have been meeting in Kuwait and thus ensure that the GCC mechanism is maintained, effective and continuous.
He stressed that this summit represents a ray of hope in reviving the efforts aimed at containing the Gulf dispute. (end)
