Q: How do you see works of the 30th GCC Summit recently held in Kuwait?


A: "At the outset, I should point to the warm welcome and generous hospitality of
Kuwait. We have been honored by Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber
Al-Sabah's good feelings toward our country and our family in Saudi Arabia. Let me
tell you that what binds us with Kuwait, its people and the ruling family is
fraternal, deep-rooted and historical relationship that is a true model of cohesion
and cooperation between brothers and remains as ideal ties.


With regard to the GCC Summit, it has re-confirmed solidarity among the GCC states
. These states have been enjoying effective inter-action and mutual interests,
which would upgrade their positions at Arab and international arenas. The
positions, announced in the final communiqué or the remarks of the GCC leaders,
have been a true reflection of the leaders' stances. We, in Saudi Arabia. feel that
the way of the GCC states is integrated based on good faith and work towards a
better future for our peoples. Some of the projects have been approved at the
Summit. They serve vital, economic, developmental and sustainable development of
the peoples of the region. They are important projects, but we want more than what
has been accomplished."
