This statement came during a meeting between the GCC secretary general and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha today, on the sidelines of Albudaiwi's participation in the Dubrovnik Forum 2025 in Croatia, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

During the meeting, several topics were discussed, and relations between the GCC and Ukraine were reviewed.
