The 15th Consultative Summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) kicked off here Tuesday with French President Francois Hollande taking part.

Developments in Yemen, the Syrian crisis and Iran's nuclear file are likely to top the agenda of the GCC summit.

Gulf relations will also figure high at the talks.

The Summit is held just days ahead of a meeting of Gulf leaders with US President Barack Obama in Camp David to discuss the Iranian nuclear file.
