The meeting of the heads of state and government of the member states was due to be held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on October 24, but has now been postponed to a new date, which will be announced “in due course”.
No formal reason was given. However, Riyadh has recently been targeted in several attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi movement, prompting Sweden to advise against non-essential travel to Saudi Arabia.
