EU postpones second summit with Gulf Cooperation Council states

The European Union announced today the postponement of the second summit that was scheduled to take place between the bloc and the Gulf Cooperation Council states.

Two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday that the EU and Gulf states agreed to delay the summit, which had been planned for October 24 in Saudi Arabia.

The sources confirmed comments made earlier in the day by Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev, who said he understood the meeting would be canceled due to security concerns.
