Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan arrived in Kuwait to attend the 164th Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) ministerial meeting. The high-level gathering brought together foreign ministers from all six GCC countries to discuss urgent regional issues and improve cooperation across the Gulf.
The main focus of the meeting was the worsening situation in Gaza, along with ongoing efforts to strengthen unity among the Gulf nations. The Saudi FM’s attendance highlighted the Kingdom’s active leadership role in the region.
Strengthening Gulf ties through unity and dialogue
The ministerial meeting focused on several key goals:
- Promoting political unity and economic cooperation among GCC countries
- Discussing updates on past agreements and decisions made at earlier summits
- Reviewing joint plans for security, trade, health, and education
- Strengthening the voice of the Gulf bloc in global diplomacy
Prince Faisal joined other Gulf leaders to discuss how their countries can move forward together. Their goal was clear: to build a stronger, more united Gulf region that can face today’s challenges together.
Saudi Arabia pushes for joint action on Gaza crisis
One of the most urgent issues discussed was the crisis in Gaza. The humanitarian situation has worsened, and the GCC foreign ministers called for immediate action to protect civilians and end the suffering.
The Saudi FM stressed the need for:
- A unified Gulf stance on supporting the people of Gaza
- Stronger diplomatic efforts to stop the violence
- A renewed commitment to peace and justice in the region
Gulf leaders agreed that this moment needs unity and quick action. Saudi Arabia called on all members to work closely and speak with one voice to help Gaza.
Warm welcome shows strong Saudi-Kuwait friendship
Prince Faisal was warmly welcomed in Kuwait upon arrival. This gesture reflected the close ties between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, both politically and diplomatically. The two countries share a long history of cooperation and continue to support each other in Gulf-related matters.
The ministerial meeting also gave the Saudi FM a chance to speak privately with his Kuwaiti counterpart and discuss further steps in boosting cooperation across the GCC.
Looking back at past decisions, planning ahead
The council also reviewed what had been achieved since the 45th GCC Summit held in December last year. Ministers looked at reports and progress updates from several committees, including those focused on security, economy, and social development.
By examining past decisions, the ministers aimed to improve how the GCC works together in future. These updates helped the group plan better ways to manage Gulf affairs and global relationships.
A firm message: Gulf countries stand together
Throughout the meeting, there was a strong message: GCC countries are united. Despite regional conflicts and political tension, Gulf nations continue to stand by each other.
The Saudi FM reminded attendees that only through unity can the Gulf region face growing global challenges like war, economic uncertainty, and environmental threats.
Final words: Saudi Arabia reaffirms commitment to Gulf unity
The 164th GCC ministerial meeting ended with renewed promises of cooperation. Prince Faisal bin Farhan’s presence and strong statements showed Saudi Arabia’s commitment to regional leadership, peace, and progress.
As the situation in Gaza remains critical, and new challenges arise, Saudi Arabia called on its Gulf neighbors to act as one — not just in words, but in actions.
Summary
This meeting in Kuwait was more than just diplomacy. It was about shared values, urgent needs, and the future of a region that plays a key role on the global stage. Saudi Arabia, through its foreign minister, showed it is ready to lead with purpose, compassion, and unity.
