RIYADH: US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived on Wednesday in Jeddah where he will discuss regional issues, notably Yemen and Syria, with the GCC foreign ministers.
Kerry and his GCC counterparts will push for peace in Yemen after UN-brokered talks collapsed despite world concern over the deteriorating situation in that country.
Kerry will also meet UN Yemen Envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed.
“The high-profile meeting will also be attended by Tobias Ellwood, British minister for Middle East and Africa. Ellwood, accompanied by a delegation, would arrive in Jeddah on Thursday,” said Nicola Woodget, a spokeswoman of the British Embassy.
“The GCC ministers will discuss the latest developments in the region,” said Ahmed Al-Kabi, a GCC spokesman.
