His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed his strongest condemnation and denunciation of the false and unacceptable allegations made in the statement issued by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
His Excellency underscored that these misleading claims are an extension of the escalatory and provocative approach adopted by Iran toward the countries of the region. He pointed out that Iran has not only persisted in its brutal attacks targeting the territories of the UAE but has also continued its blatant attempts to distort facts, in flagrant violation of all international norms and laws.
"The contents of the Iranian statement reflect a clear determination to fuel tensions and destabilise regional security and stability," His Excellency underscored, adding that this reaffirms the Iranian hostile approach that threatens the security of the region and the peace of its peoples.
Finally, His Excellency affirmed that the GCC member states stand as one with the UAE, supporting all measures it takes to preserve its security, stability, and sovereignty. He reiterated that the security of the UAE is an integral part of the collective security of all GCC states.
