Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdulla bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud called for Gulf Union. He was speaking as he addressed the opening session of the 32nd GCC Summit.
“I ask today that we move from a phase of cooperation to a phase of union within a single entity, to achieve joint welfare and stave off threats”, he said. “History and experience have taught us not to be complacent with our reality and feel complacent. Whoever does this will be left behind and face weakness,” he said.
“We don’t accept this for our countries, peoples, security and stability”, he said. King Abdulla stressed the necessity to be aware of threats endangering GCC security and stability and live up to responsibilities.
“Our summit opens in the shadow of challenges that require vigilance and a united stance,” he added.
