Moreover, on the meeting, he said that it is “part of regular discussions to review progress made in security issues of mutual concern, which call for increased cooperation and appropriate decision- making.” Speaking on regional conditions, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled said that it would behoove GCC nations to be extra cautious, as “current challenges and obstacles require us to forge a concerted stance in a volatile juncture that the world is going through.” “Terrorism and extremism represent a grave threat that risk tearing apart nations in our region,” the Kuwaiti Minister of Interior said, underscoring the need to ratchet up security cooperation on the part of GCC nations. He also thanked GCC Secretary- General Abdullatif Al-Zayani for expending efforts to organize such meetings, which prove crucial and instrumental to joint work.
