The Qatari capital, Doha, is poised to host two ministerial meetings—one Gulf-Turkish and the other Gulf-Yemeni—aimed at deliberating on bilateral relations between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Türkiye, and Yemen, seeking to bolster and elevate them.
The agenda also includes discussions on regional and international issues of mutual concern, particularly the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Rafah, along with its political, security, and humanitarian developments.
According to the GCC, its Secretary-General, Jasim Al-Budaiwi, met on Thursday with Shaya Mohsin Al-Zindani, the Yemeni Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, underscoring the significance of the joint ministerial meeting of foreign ministers from GCC countries and Yemen.
The Secretary-General reiterated the GCC’s full support, as articulated in the statement of the Supreme Council of the GCC in its 44th session, for the Presidential Leadership Council headed by Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, and the supporting entities, to achieve security and stability in Yemen.
This reaffirms the GCC’s backing for efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive political solution to the Yemeni crisis, in accordance with the three references: the Gulf Initiative and its executive mechanism, the outcomes of the Comprehensive National Dialogue Conference, and UN Security Council Resolution 2216, to achieve security and stability in Yemen.
Al-Budaiwi also discussed with the Turkish Ambassador to Riyadh, Emrullah İsler, on Wednesday, the key preparations for the upcoming Sixth High-Level Strategic Dialogue of Foreign Ministers of GCC countries and Türkiye, scheduled to take place next Sunday in Doha.
The strategic dialogue meetings commenced in September 2008 in the western Saudi province of Jeddah, affirming the ministers’ shared desire to enhance and diversify these close relations across all fields.
The fifth meeting took place in October 2016 at the headquarters of the Gulf Cooperation Council Secretariat General in Riyadh. During this meeting, ministers expressed their satisfaction with the fifth round of the strategic dialogue, aiming to make progress on shared priorities.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated on Wednesday in the second meeting of the G20 Foreign Ministers, chaired by Brazil, urging them to enable the achievement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the adoption of a “reliable” path to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

"The fact that our meeting is being held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly is an indication of the importance of the G20 and its leadership in ensuring the health of the global economy, enhancing multilateral cooperation, and finding innovative solutions to common challenges,” the Foreign Minister said in his speech.

He underscored the urgent need to adhere to successful models of collective action and the importance of seeking to develop and reform international institutions.

"The repercussions of wars and political conflicts undermine efforts to establish international peace and security and cast their shadows on all aspects of multilateral action, and when these institutions fail to carry out their fundamental duties towards these crises, this creates a gap in international action and a crisis of confidence that undermines their legitimacy. This is what we are witnessing today in the way some international institutions deal with the humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine."

The Minister stressed that prolonging the war and expanding its scope deepens the suffering of the Palestinian people, threatens international peace and security, and undermines the chances of achieving comprehensive peace in the region.

"The G20 countries must intensify their joint efforts to overcome the international failure to confront Israel's serious violations of international laws and norms and enable the achievement of a ceasefire and the adoption of a reliable and irreversible path to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state,” he added.

Regarding reforming the United Nations system, especially the Security Council, he stressed that there is an urgent need for radical reform to compensate for the defects in addressing crises, responding to the needs of people, and keeping pace with international transformations and development requirements.

"The Kingdom affirms that the goal of reforming the Security Council is to enhance its credibility and effective response, believing in the importance of this in confronting contemporary crises and challenges, thus contributing to creating a more just, secure and stable world."
