Saudi Envoy highlights importance of 29th GCC Summit
Riyadh, December 28, SPA -- The Saudi Ambassador to Sultanate of Oman Abdulaziz bin Suleiman Al-Turki reiterated Saturday the importance of
the 29th session of the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation
Council to be held in Muscat on Monday and Tuesday as taking place at
a time when regional and international political changes and economic
repercussions will be a challenge to the GCC and provide a stimulus
to re-double GCC efforts, speed up performance and remove obstacles
to joint action.
In a statement to Saudi Press Agency, he said that the Omani
capital-Muscat will be the focus of attention of the citizens of the
GCC as they attach hopes and aspirations to the meeting of their
leaders to push ahead works of the Council to achieve the desired
objectives in all areas.
"Moreover, the GCC citizens are also looking forward to further
achievements particularly in the areas that affect their lives in the
GCC countries."
They are also inspired by the contents of a speech delivered by the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al
Saud in the Muscat Summit in 2001, in which he had said "We do not
need to have summits that only improvise emotional decisions that die
short before the ink dried on the paper on which these decisions are
written on. Truly, we need to have summits of reflections and
analysis that yield logical and realistic decisions implemented in
accordance with reasonable timetables."
Al-Turki said that the King's speech had a deep impact on
accelerating the process as regards implementation of the Council's
decisions and recommendations issued by the previous subsequent
summits, which contributed to a number of concrete achievements
especially on the economic front.
He called on the GCC peoples to be optimistic about the bright future
compared to the past.
"With cohesion and convergence of sincere intentions and the
political will, the GCC countries will be able to assume their proper
place, and enjoy greater stability, despite the economic and
financial crises the world is currently facing," he said.
