Al-Badawi Highlights Gulf's Trusted Role
The activities of the first day of the Helly Forum focused on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries' efforts to enhance cooperation and coordination in facing challenges, especially following Iranian attacks on the region. The meetings demonstrated that the level of coordination among the member states has become unprecedented, spanning military, economic, security, and health sectors, and that they have successfully managed crises such as the disruption of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz effectively and without harming the Gulf markets. Strategies were also outlined to strengthen logistical support, develop water and electricity connectivity projects, and achieve achievement levels between 50 and 70% in these areas, with the participation of more than 50 ministerial committees. Regarding relations with Iran, the Secretary-General emphasized the need to handle the matter seriously, noting that relations have deteriorated following recent attacks, and that there is a direction towards building trust through concrete steps. Iran was also called upon to adopt policies that demonstrate good intentions. He clarified that the international community shows broad support for the Gulf states but warns against internationalizing water passages, stressing the importance of applying international laws to maintain security in the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, he emphasized that the Gulf is a reliable and credible partner, and that its real wealth lies in its youth, which continues to achieve significant accomplishments that attract global investments.
