The meeting addressed the joint military action stated on the agenda while the participants made essential decisions and recommendations.

The Saudi minister conveyed the greetings and appreciation of the Saudi leadership, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

"Pleased to chair the 19th GCC Joint Defense Council today. We reviewed various aspects of our cooperation, reaffirmed our joint efforts to bolster defense coordination between us against common threats, and explored ways to preserve peace, security, and stability in the region," tweeted Prince Khalid.

The Saudi Defense Minister thanked his GCC counterparts and the Secretary-General for their sincere efforts to create and improve the GCC defense action.

He further expressed the hope that these initiatives would successfully achieve the welfare of the GCC's citizens and nations and maintain the GCC security and safety under the guidance of the GCC leaders.
