Kuwait’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Sabah has said he will not invite Iran to next week’s Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit, the Kuwait Times reported Monday. Al-Sabah made the statement in a meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Abul Gheit, who was visiting the Gulf state on Sunday, according to the newspaper.

While Iran is not a member of the six-member council, it has in the past been invited to observe.
