German Government Confirms Saudi King's Refusal to Attend G20 Summit in Hamburg
13:45 GMT 03.07.2017 (Updated: 15:48 GMT 03.07.2017) German government’s spokesman Steffen Seibert confirmed on Monday the reports that Saudi King Salman Abdulaziz Al Saud would not take part in the G20 summit in Hamburg.
BERLIN (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, German media reported that King Salman had refused to participate in the summit over the diplomatic crisis around Qatar. Saudi Arabia will reportedly instead be represented by Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan.
"I can confirm that we have received this official notification," Seibert said at a press briefing without naming the reasons for the Saudi King’s decision.
The spokesman added that Germany did not know who would represent the kingdom at the coming summit.
The G20 summit will take place in the German city of Hamburg on July 7-8.
