HRH Premier hails GCC Consultative Meeting

Manama, May 5 (BNA): His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa has affirmed that the Saudi-led Coalition aims to support legitimacy and reinforce stability in Yemen, and does not aim to achieve expansionist goals or any other ambitions. "The leadership of the coalition restored hope for Arab countries, and revived Arab solidarity, which had almost disappeared," he said, stressing that "without resolve, and the Operation Decisive Storm, the destruction, insecurity and instability, which had erupted in some Arab countries and were about to engulf the remaining ones, could have continued." HRH Premier pointed out that the Arab Nation has been afflicted by insecurity and instability, expressing strong confidence in Arab peoples' ability to maintain the safety and integrity of their countries. "We are not advocates of wars and conflicts, but we will not give a chance to those who are plotting against our security and stability," he said. "As an Arab Nation, our future depends very much on our cooperation and solidarity in facing dangers posing a threat to our countries," he added, noting that Arab peoples have suffered a lot because of murder, exodus and displacement. He emphasised that Arabs are the best to defend the Arab Nation and regain its usurped rights, citing the "Operation Decisive Storm" as the best example. HRH Premier made the statements as he received at the Gudaibiya Palace today a number of Arab Ambassadors to Bahrain, in the presence of senior state officials and citizens. HRH the Prime Minister asserted that although many issues have been created to distract Arab countries and dissuade them from supporting Palestine, the Palestinian cause will remain the fundamental Arab cause until it is resolved. He affirmed the importance of unified stances among Arab countries and peoples, being the main means to strengthen the pillars of stability. "Arab countries have become aware that unity means stability, and we have every right to get united. I am confident that our leaders are moving towards unity, and the Operation Decisive Storm is one of the manifestations of such unity," he told the audience. HRH Premier asserted that the importance of the Consultative Meeting of GCC leaders, hosted by Saudi Arabia, stems from the serious challenges the region is currently facing, highlighting GCC countries' keenness to have strong and balanced relations with brotherly and friendly countries, while putting their security and stability before anything else. Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Bahrain and Kuwaiti Ambassador to Bahrain, extended, on behalf of Arab Ambassador, sincere thanks and appreciation to HRH Premier for constant keenness to meet ambassadors and interact with them. They hailed HRH Premier's interest in providing all facilities that help diplomatic missions assume their duties easily and smoothly.
