Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah underscored on Thursday efforts to bolster joint coordination between Gulf countries to preserve regional security and stability.
In a telephone call, they condemned Iran’s “heinous” attacks against Gulf countries, saying they are a violation of their sovereignty and security and safety of their peoples.
They also warned of the dangerous repercussions those attacks have on regional and international security and stability.
Sheikh Sabah expressed his categorical rejection of anything that may harm Saudi Arabia, adding that an attack on any Gulf country is an attack on Kuwait itself.
“We will overcome this phase with strength through the wisdom of our leaders,” he vowed.
Crown Prince Mohammed also received separate telephone calls from Djibouti’s President Ismail Omar Guelleh and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who both expressed their solidarity with Saudi Arabia in wake of the Iranian attacks.
They said they stand by the Kingdom as it takes measures to protect its security and territory.
