RIYADH: The GCC rejects threats made by Turkish officials against the UAE, the council’s secretary general said on Tuesday. Nayef Al-Hajraf made the comments during a meeting with Erdogan Kok, the Turkish ambassador to Saudi Arabia in Riyadh. Al-Hajraf stressed the GCC’s “keenness for regional stability and security” and achieving bilateral interests with neighboring countries on the basis of “respecting their sovereignty and without meddling in their internal affairs.” Al-Hajraf condemned “threats and statements that some Turkish officials have directed to the United Arab Emirates.” He said the security of the GCC states is indivisible, based on the principle of joint defense within the framework of the council.
