Minister of State, Lana Nusseibeh, has underlined that "Gulf consultation, inclusion and participation is a necessary condition" in Iran peace talks during a Joint Ministerial Meeting of the GCC and the US in Bahrain.
"Our countries have lived with the consequences of Iran’s hostile attacks. Any solution designed to deliver lasting security will be strongest when it reflects the perspectives of those whose security is most immediately affected," she added.
Nusseibeh attended the meeting on behalf of Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting, hosted by Dr. Abdullatif Al Zayani, Foreign Minister of Bahrain, the ministers welcomed the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding as the first step towards regional de-escalation.
US was represented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Nusseibeh also emphasised the need to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, secure and free from economic coercion, stressing that the international community should not allow Iran to profit from its illegal activity in the Strait.
During the meeting, she underscored the need to support the Lebanese authorities in achieving security, stability and development, and supporting Syria’s inclusive political transition.
On the Occupied Palestinian Territory, she emphasised the need to fully implement Security Council resolution 2803 and support the Board of Peace in Gaza, reiterating the UAE’s consistent position on the need to establish a credible political horizon toward resolving the Palestinian- Israeli conflict based on the two-state solution.
