GCC Secretary General hails vital role of Saudi Monarch in

Riyadh, March 12, SPA -- The General Secretariat of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) welcomed the Quartet Arab summit which was
held here Wednesday evening in order to "clear the air" and achieve
Arab reconciliation.

Secretary-General of the GCC Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Atiyyah
commended the vital and important role undertaken by the Custodian of
the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in
supporting the Arab solidarity.
"In this context, the efforts exerted by the Custodian of the Two
Holy Mosques are yet another confirmation that the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia is pushing the current Arab situation of fragmentation to the
prospects of coordination, cooperation and solidarity", Al-Atiyyah
added.
Al-Atiyyah pointed out to the initiative launched at Kuwaiti
Summit by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to achieve
reconciliation between the brothers, stressing the wisdom and right
vision enjoyed by the Saudi Monarch in addressing the major
challenges.
The Secretary-General of the GCC made clear that the good offices
which are currently being undertaken by the Custodian of the Two Holy
Mosques, gain now additional importance as it comes on the eve of
the forthcoming Arab summit which will be held in Doha, towards which
the peoples of the Arab Ummah (Nation) attach a lot of hopes and
expectations in the support of the crucial issues, particularly the
Palestinian issue.
