Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister has said the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member-states are determined to resolve the ongoing Gulf crisis because not doing so would be destructive for the region, the official KUNA news agency reported on Tuesday.
"Everybody realises that for the longer this division continues the deeper the wound will be in the Gulf body," Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister HE Khaled al Jarallah said.
Jarallah warned that the crisis threatened to derail numerous initiatives by the GCC.
"This disagreement, if not resolved, will destroy the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the members of the GCC countries, their cohesion, unity, harmony and joint GCC action for the benefit of the people of the GCC countries," he said.
"Unfortunately, since this dispute broke out, several GCC mechanisms have been disrupted with meetings and proposals stalled," Jarallah said before adding that"the continuation of the dispute will have repercussions for the security in the region, as well as the council's economic ties with other trade blocs around the world.
Jarallah commended the US for its efforts towards the resolution of the crisis, adding that under the given circumstances it would be better to wait before holding a joint US-GCC summit, according to Al Jazeera.
