State minister for financial affairs to lead UAE delegation to Bahrain meeting

The United Arab Emirates said on Monday it's delegation to a U.S.-led Bahrain meeting on Palestine would be led by its minister of state for financial affairs. In a statement to Reuters, the country's foreign ministry said Obeid al-Tayer would lead the delegation.

The June 25-26 conference in the Bahraini capital Manama, which the Palestinian Authority is boycotting, will discuss U.S.-led proposals for an economic vision to be presented by U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, part of a wider plan to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
