Ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council have praised Morocco’s strong support and evident solidarity under King Mohammed VI in confronting what they termed Iranian aggression and military escalation in the region.
This commendation came during the eighth joint ministerial meeting between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Gulf Cooperation Council, held via videoconference on Thursday, featuring Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, alongside GCC Secretary-General Jassem Mohammed Al-Budaiwi, as well as several ministers and representatives from member states.
The Gulf ministers expressed their appreciation for Morocco’s brotherly and sincere stance, noting that the Kingdom’s support reflects the robustness of the historical relationships that bind Morocco to the Gulf states and signifies the depth of the special brotherly ties between King Mohammed VI and the leaders of the Council member states.
Gulf officials also highlighted that this solidarity comes at a critical regional juncture amid rising tensions and military escalation, underscoring that Morocco’s position reflects Rabat’s ongoing commitment to supporting the security and stability of the Gulf countries.
In the same context, King Mohammed VI reiterated, during telephone conversations with several Gulf leaders, Morocco’s strong condemnation of the assaults targeting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of these nations, affirming the Kingdom’s full support for any lawful measures taken by the Gulf states to safeguard their security and ensure the safety of their citizens.
The royal conversations included discussions with the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, King of Bahrain, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
