Leaders and officials from six Gulf Nations have met in the Saudi capital to discuss cooperation- from the economy to security - but it is regional disunity that's dominating the summit
In his opening address Saudi Arabia's King Salman did not mention the blockade of Qatar by his country and two other GCC member states.
But it's that dispute, the war in Yemen, and the diplomatic crisis surrounding the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, that are overshadowing the event.
So, What does the future hold for the GCC?
