The GCC Ministerial Council discussed the repercussions of the attacks on the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and its Consulate in Mashhad. The GCC Ministerial Council expressed strong condemnation and rejection of these attacks, holding the Iranian authorities fully responsible for these terrorist acts in accordance with its commitment to the 1961 and 1963 Vienna Conventions as well as the international law, which hold the countries responsible for protecting the diplomatic missions. The GCC Ministerial Council also condemned the Iranian blatant interventions in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which were reflected by the Iranian hostile and provocative statements on the judicial rulings implemented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against a number of terrorists. The GCC Ministerial Council considered these statements a direct incitement for launching the attacks on the diplomatic missions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The GCC Ministerial Council stressed that such acts do not serve peace and security in the region and the world; are in contrary to the principles of good neighborliness, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, sovereignty respect; and result in complicating the situation and igniting more crises in the region. The GCC Ministerial Council stressed that GCC countries do support the decisions and measures taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to fight terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and to find perpetrators of terrorist acts and instigators of sedition and bring them to justice. The GCC Foreign Ministers praised the efficiency, independence and integrity of the judiciary in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. --More 18:59 LOCAL TIME 15:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
