The meeting affirmed that the security of the GCC countries is an indivisible and interconnected system, based on the council’s charter and its joint defence frameworks.
Bahrain’s Ambassador to the US Shaikh Abdulla bin Rashid Al Khalifa chaired a meeting of the ambassadors of the GCC countries and Jordan, with US House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Brian Mast.
It was held within the framework of Bahrain’s presidency of the 46th session of the GCC.
