Secretary General of the Council of Ministers Confirms Kuwait's Full Commitment to Implementing Joint Gulf Action Decisions - Sarmad

(KUNA) — Kuwaiti Cabinet Secretary-General Saleh Al-Sulaiman Al-Mulla reaffirmed Kuwait’s full commitment to continuing efforts to complete the implementation of all resolutions issued by the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), driven by Kuwait’s conviction in the importance of comprehensive and integrated implementation of these resolutions to achieve their intended objectives.

This was stated in a speech delivered by Al-Mulla at the 27th meeting of the Ministerial Committee tasked with monitoring the implementation of resolutions related to joint work within the GCC, held today, Sunday, via video conferencing technology. The meeting was attended by GCC Secretary-General Jassem Al-Budaiwi.

Al-Mulla said that the rapid challenges and changes affecting the region and the world require GCC member states to strengthen their unity and integration and to double their efforts to accelerate the pace of joint Gulf action. He added that “the full implementation of joint GCC resolutions is no longer merely an administrative or procedural matter, but has become a strategic necessity to enhance the GCC’s capacity to respond to challenges, consolidate its security and stability, achieve sustainable development, and strengthen its regional and international standing.”

He emphasized that the regularity of this committee’s meetings and the constructive discussions and precise follow-up they feature reflect a shared commitment to implementing the Supreme Council’s resolutions, going beyond mere adoption to ensure their tangible impact on the reality of joint Gulf work and on the interests of citizens of the member states.

He noted that the GCC’s success in fulfilling its mandate is measured by its ability to translate directives and decisions of the states’ leaders into practical outcomes that Gulf citizens experience in their daily lives, whether through facilitating their movement, residence, and work, enhancing their access to economic, educational, health, and social opportunities, or providing a more integrated, secure, and prosperous Gulf environment.

Al-Mulla clarified that, thanks to the wise visions of the GCC states’ leaders, the Council has been able to consolidate its position as a successful regional system and achieve numerous accomplishments and gains across various fields of joint work, including political, economic, security, social, developmental, and humanitarian areas.

He pointed out that it is everyone’s responsibility to preserve these gains, develop them, and highlight them in a manner that aligns with the aspirations of Gulf citizens, strengthens their sense of Gulf citizenship, and enables them to fully benefit from the resolutions, regulations, and programs adopted by the member states.

Al-Mulla reiterated that Kuwait, consistent with its steadfast approach and firm belief in the importance of the GCC as the unifying Gulf home, will continue to support all initiatives that enhance its progress, consolidate its unity and integration, and will keep working and coordinating with member states and the General Secretariat to complete the implementation of joint resolutions and overcome any challenges, thereby embodying the directives of the states’ leaders and realizing the hopes and aspirations of their peoples.
