Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) foreign ministers will convene in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, on Thursday for high-level talks with their counterparts from Egypt, Syria, Morocco, and Jordan.
The meeting, chaired by Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al-Yahya, will include top diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and Bahrain. Discussions will focus on strengthening strategic partnerships, enhancing cooperation, and addressing pressing regional challenges.
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Al-Budaiwi stated that ministers will review reports on the implementation of decisions made during the 45th GCC Summit, held in Kuwait last December. Key topics will include economic collaboration, security coordination, and diplomatic ties with global partners.
“The agenda will also cover dialogues and strategic relations between the GCC and international blocs, along with the latest regional and global developments,” Al-Budaiwi noted.
On the sidelines, GCC ministers will hold separate talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
These discussions aim to deepen cooperation across various sectors and promote stability in a region marked by complex geopolitical dynamics. Officials will also exchange perspectives on regional security and global affairs of mutual concern.
The meeting is expected to strengthen diplomatic coordination and reinforce the collective efforts of Arab nations in shaping the region’s future.
