He pointed out that Saudi Arabia’s hosting of the Gulf summit came in response to the UAE’s desire.

Moreover, King Salman stressed that the Iranian regime continues its aggressive policies and undermines the stability of neighboring countries.
“The Gulf region must unite in the face of Iran’s aggression, and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries must secure themselves in the face of ballistic missile attacks,” he pointed out.
With the end of his speech, King Salman called for a closed session gathering the GCC leaders.
