Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Mohamed Albudaiwi welcomed the resumption of diplomatic ties between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of Qatar following the success of the second meeting of the Bahraini-Qatari Follow-up Committee, which took place at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the GCC in Riyadh. Commenting further, the GCC Secretary General applauded this blessed step, which stems from the directives of the leaders of the GCC countries that were issued at the "Sultan Qaboos and Sheikh Sabah Summit", which was held in AlUla, Saudi Arabia, in January 2021, adding that those instructions embody the GCC leaders' keenness to secure the future and protect the cohesion of the Council in line with key attributes of the links connecting the Council member states, including the bonds of kinship, friendship, brotherhood, history and common destiny, and unity which are the pillars of the GCC blessed march.
