GCC Secretary-General Urges EU to Play More Effective Diplomatic Role

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi called on the European Union to play a more effective diplomatic role in mediating the conflict with Iran.

He emphasized the GCC states’ support for any "fair and equitable" initiative that serves the security of the region and the international community.

Albudaiwi stressed that GCC states base their international partnerships on national and strategic interests, maintaining balanced relations with Washington, Brussels, Beijing, and Moscow without aligning with any single bloc.

The secretary-general is visiting Brussels for talks with senior European officials to strengthen strategic dialogue between both sides.
