GCC interior ministers met in Bahrain; Saudi Arabia will host the next meeting.

The 43rd meeting was chaired by Bahrain’s interior minister, and ministers discussed strengthening joint security cooperation, Asharq News reported. In remarks reported by Okaz, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif called for strengthening the shared Gulf security system by shifting from responding to security events toward anticipating them and preparing in advance through comprehensive plans and stronger coordination. He said the security of GCC states is indivisible, and that a threat to one directly threatens the wider GCC security system. GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi also highlighted the importance of security integration and readiness amid rapid regional changes, citing coordination, unified efforts and the exchange of expertise. The Saudi minister condemned attacks by the terrorist Houthi militia on civilians and civilian and economic sites in Saudi Arabia, and on the Two Holy Mosques, calling them unjustifiable and harmful to civilian safety and to security and stability in Yemen and the region. Saudi Arabia will host the 44th meeting.
