Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah said that the the security of his country and that of his Arab neighbors was being targeted, in an apparent reference to regional rival Iran, and called for Gulf Arab states to close ranks in a “single entity.”
King Abdullah welcomed in his opening speech at the opening of the annual Gulf Cooperation Council summit (GCC) in Riyadh, stressing the need to confront the challenges that require everyone to be vigilant and united.
King Abdullah called on the GCC countries to bypass the stage of cooperation to the Union in a single entity to achieve good and drive out evil.
He also stressed the need to help all brothers and work on sparing them more bloodshed and help them to stay out of conflicts.
“Our summit opens in the shadow of challenges that require vigilance and a united stance,” he added.
