Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, has vehemently condemned the malicious media allegations and unverifiable information circulating against the United Arab Emirates and the State of Qatar.
He stressed that these allegations and information intend to cast doubt on the positions of those nations and their constructive role in supporting regional and global security and stability.
In a statement on Saturday, Albudaiwi underlined that these allegations lack credibility and objective foundations and serve to vitiate the sincere efforts made by the GCC states to consolidate security and stability, as well as dialogue and co-operation among the countries of the region.
“Over the past years, the UAE and the State of Qatar have provided a pioneering model in adopting policies that support regional stability through their active contributions to bridging views, supporting diplomatic endeavors, and enhancing international co-operation to address the challenges and crises facing the region, reflecting a responsible approach aimed at consolidating security and achieving development and prosperity for their peoples”, Albudaiwi explained.
Albudaiwi further stressed that the GCC nations are moving forward steadily in their approach based on bolstering stability and co-operation, and that they unequivocally reject any media campaigns aimed at offending any of their members. He underscored that such campaigns won’t affect their cohesion and unity, or their unwavering dedication to performing their pivotal role in supporting security, stability, and prosperity on both the regional and global stages.
The Arab Parliament has also condemned the misleading media reports and allegations against the State of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, asserting that they constitute a desperate attempt to undermine their efforts, standing, and active role in supporting security and stability at both the regional and international levels.
In a statement issued yesterday, Speaker of the Arab Parliament Mohammed Ahmed Al Yamahi affirmed that such allegations do not serve the interests of the region’s peoples and contribute to sowing discord and distorting the facts at a time when current challenges necessitate enhanced cooperation and solidarity among Arab states to confront crises and consolidate the foundations of development and peace.
He noted that both countries have played significant roles in supporting diplomatic initiatives and efforts aimed at resolving conflicts and addressing crises, reflecting a clear commitment to the principles of cooperation, partnership, and joint action to achieve development and prosperity for the peoples of the region.
Al Yamahi stressed that the Arab Parliament strongly rejects media misleading campaigns and attempts to sow discord, emphasizing that Arab solidarity, respect for the sovereignty of states, and non-interference in their internal affairs are fundamental pillars for maintaining the region’s security and stability.
