Oman joins GCC council meeting focused on regional security

The Sultanate of Oman has actively engaged in discussions on regional cooperation and security by participating in the 167th session of the GCC Ministerial Council held in Manama, Bahrain. The Omani delegation was led by Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.

The ministerial meeting, chaired by Bahrain's Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif Rashid Al Zayani, focused on advancing "joint Gulf action." Discussions centered on the progress of initiatives aimed at enhancing integration across political, economic, security, and developmental spheres among member states. The council emphasized its role in strengthening regional security, stability, development, and prosperity.

Significant attention was given to current regional and international developments, particularly the repercussions of the "Israeli-American war on the Islamic Republic of Iran." The council expressed deep concern over the dangerous impact of these events on regional security and stability.

In response to these challenges, the Ministerial Council stressed the urgent need for an immediate cessation of military targeting. It also called for a heightened focus on political and diplomatic efforts to contain the crisis and address its root causes through peaceful means. The ultimate goal is to preserve the security of the region and safeguard the interests of its countries and peoples.
