Tehran: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told Saudi King Abdullah that he wished Saudi Arabia was not taking part in the US-hosted Middle East peace summit, state media reported on Monday.
"I wish the name of Saudi Arabia was not among those attending the Annapolis conference," state-run IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as telling Abdullah.
"Arab countries should be watchful in the face of the plots and deception of the Zionist enemy," he added.
More than a dozen Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and Syria, are to send representatives to the peace summit in Annapolis, Maryland on Tuesday.
