MECCA, Saudi Arabia 27 May (ANA) - Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has received an invitation from Saudi King Salman to attend the emergency Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit on May 30, the Qatari foreign ministry said in a statement. 

 

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani received the message while meeting the GCC Secretary-General Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani in Doha on Sunday.

 

In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cut off ties with Qatar and imposed a land, sea, and air blockade on the Gulf state. 

 

The quartet accuses Doha of supporting "terrorism" and proscribed opposition political movements, such as the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

Qatar has repeatedly rejected the accusations as baseless.(ANA)
