EU-Gulf summit in Saudi Arabia postponed due to security concerns
The sources confirmed remarks by Bulgaria's Prime Minister Rumen Radev, who earlier on Thursday said he had understood the meeting would be scrapped due to security concerns.
The European Union's summit with Gulf states, originally scheduled for Saudi Arabia on October 24, has been postponed due to security concerns, according to multiple sources. Bulgaria's Prime Minister Rumen Radev confirmed to reporters that the meeting would likely be canceled for this reason. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas stated that discussions regarding the summit were ongoing and that more information would be provided when available.
Earlier in the week, the Saudi-led coalition announced that they had intercepted three missiles and two drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists headed towards Riyadh and Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran. The coalition reported that missile fragments had landed in a nearby residential area, causing injuries to four people and damage to 15 homes in Riyadh.
