He asserted that joint cooperation and coordination among GCC states exemplify the region's strength and unified approach to security, serving as a cohesive system to protect the achievements, sovereignty, and safety of its people. Al-Budaiwi emphasized that the security of each GCC country is indivisible, with any threat to one being a threat to all. At the 43rd meeting of GCC interior ministers in Manama, Bahrain, he noted the urgency of Gulf security integration in light of rapid security developments, which have enhanced the readiness and capability of GCC security agencies to respond effectively to emerging threats. The secretary-general praised the high competence, courage, and dedication of GCC interior ministries and security agencies, particularly in responding to Iranian attacks on member states. He expressed deep pride in their national duty fulfillment and condemned the recent Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia, calling them a violation of Islamic sanctities and an assault on the Kingdom's security and sovereignty. Al-Budaiwi reaffirmed GCC solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for all measures to protect its security, stability, and holy sites. He highlighted the GCC's achievements as a regional and global model of security collaboration, emphasizing that the cohesion and integration of its security apparatus are critical for the protection and stability of its member states and peoples.",
