The Gulf Cooperation Council on Tuesday hailed Saudi Arabia and its role in evacuating nationals of different Gulf and foreign countries besides its own from the battle-scarred country of Sudan.

The GCC hailed the diplomatic and logistical Saudi role, evacuating a number of civilians, diplomats and senior international officials.

Jasem Albudaiwi, the GCC Secretary General, extended gratitude to the leadership of the Kingdom for the “smooth evacuation” process of people from Sudan, and the thorough follow-up making certain they reach Jeddah safely, and from there back to their homelands.

He also praised Saudi Arabia and the GCC’s “major diplomatic” efforts to resolve the conflict in Sudan.

Albudaiwi renewed his calls on the conflicting parties in Sudan, the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, to halt all military actions, prioritizing instead the interest of the Sudanese people in what stability brings on.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stressed Sunday that the events in the region, including the direct targeting of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States, will escalate tensions and impact regional security and stability.

He stated that the GCC reaffirms the statement issued at the 48th Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting of the GCC Ministerial Council regarding regional developments and reiterates its condemnation of anything that threatens the security and stability of the region, SPA reported.

Albudaiwi also stressed the need for an immediate ceasefire, for all parties to make joint efforts to de-escalate tensions, to adopt diplomacy as an effective means of resolving conflicts, and to exercise the highest levels of self-restraint to spare the region and its people the dangers of war.
