Saudi Arabia welcomed on Monday the agreement reached between the United States and Iran to end their military operations and kick off 60-day negotiations to reach a lasting deal.

A Foreign Ministry statement said the Kingdom hailed the mediation led by Pakistan and Qatar, praising at the same time the US and Iran’s receptiveness to those efforts that helped lead to the agreement.

It stressed the importance of restoring security and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz to the way they were before February 28 when the war erupted, saying they were essential for regional security and ensuring the movement of global trade and energy.

Saudi Arabia hoped the upcoming negotiations would achieve lasting peace that would consolidate regional and global security through understandings that take into account the region’s security interests and consolidate respect for the sovereignty of nations and non-interference in their internal affairs.

Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi launched on Sunday the "Gulf Legislation Platform" that allows the review of unified Gulf legislation issued within the framework of joint Gulf action.

It provides a unified electronic reference that helps in supporting legislative and legal work across Gulf countries, said a statement by the GCC General Secretariat.

During the launch at the General Secretariat headquarters, Albudaiwi hailed the efforts of those in charge of the initiative, which came in implementation of the decision of the Standing Committee of Officials of Legislation Departments in the GCC States at its 19th meeting.

The committee had approved the General Secretariat's proposal to establish this specialized platform to streamline access to unified Gulf and national legislation.

The platform provides advanced search services that enable government and legal entities in the member states, alongside specialists, researchers, and those interested in legislative affairs, to access and review unified Gulf legislation and national legislation with efficiency and ease.

This boosts the exchange of legal expertise and supports legislative coordination and integration among the Council states. The platform currently boasts more than 24,700 legal and legislative documents.

The first phase of the project covers Bahrain and Oman, while the relevant authorities at the General Secretariat continue to work on completing the link with the remaining member countries.
