The talks will take place in Jeddah, a Red Sea port city, and will involve Ukraine, along with Brazil, India, South Africa, and other countries. Additionally, a high-level official from the U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration is expected to participate. Notably, Russia has not been invited to the summit, and planning is being overseen by Kyiv. While specific details and dates have not been confirmed, The Wall Street Journal suggests that the talks will occur on August 5th and 6th, with around 30 countries attending. Both Saudi Arabia and Ukraine have not yet formally acknowledged the planned summit. This development comes after Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security adviser, visited Saudi Arabia recently. The summit serves as a continuation of discussions that began in Copenhagen in June. It’s worth noting that Saudi Arabia’s hosting of these talks is significant, given its ties with both Russia and the West. The country has maintained a close relationship with Russia as part of the OPEC+ group, leading to tensions with the U.S. due to oil production cuts during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. On the other hand, hosting the peace talks may help elevate the stature of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has been working towards reconciliation with Iran and seeking peace in Yemen. However, there are still strained relations with the West over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, an incident for which U.S. intelligence agencies have implicated Prince Mohammed.
