His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, Chairman of the Supreme Political Council, held today a call with his brother, His Excellency President Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

During the call, His Excellency President Al-Mashat congratulated the success of the Iranian “Sincere Promise” operation in punishing the criminal Zionist enemy entity for its crimes and violations, the latest of which was the blatant attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic.

He stressed Yemen’s support for the “sincere promise” operation in deterring the Zionist entity, and the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to respond to the aggressions of the usurping enemy entity, which is guaranteed by United Nations charters and international laws.

“Unfortunately, some powers in the world do not believe in rights, and it is hoped after God Almighty to prepare more power for our peoples and our Islamic nation to take their rights by force,” President Al-Mashat said.

He denounced th
e international positions that emerged after the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in defending its sovereignty, considering these positions a scandalous shame, reflecting blind obedience to global Zionism.

President Al-Mashat conveyed his greetings to the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr. Ali Khamenei, the Iranian government and the Iranian Muslim people. For his part, the Iranian President expressed his thanks for the positions of the Yemeni leadership, government and people in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people, which had a great impact on the Israeli enemy entity.

He appreciated the positions of the Yemeni leadership, government and people in blessing and supporting Operation Sincere Promise, and its success in targeting the Zionist enemy in the occupied territories.

Iranian President Raisi conveyed his greetings to the Leader of the Revolution, Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the Yemeni government and the Yemeni people.

Tashkent, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Abudaiwi has confirmed that the second ministerial meeting of the strategic dialogue between the Cooperation Council countries and the countries of Central Asia, which took place on Monday, aims to strengthen the foundation of joint action for the strategic dialogue and develop mechanisms for consultation and cooperation between the two sides.

In his speech during the meeting, the GCC Secretary General noted that there are two main reasons that distinguish this joint ministerial meeting and make it among the most important and accurate meetings. The first reason is that it is the first of its kind, following the historic summit hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Jeddah City in July 2023, which brought together the leaders of the Cooperation Council countries and the leaders of the Central Asian countries to establish the frameworks for future cooperation between both sides. Additionally, this meeting comes in preparation fo
r the second summit between the GCC countries and the Central Asian countries scheduled to be held in Samarkand next year. The second reason is the unprecedented developments and state of uncertainty in many political, economic, security, and even social matters and issues that the international community is facing, which require intensifying communication and coordination in an effort to resolve these issues and confront any negative repercussions that may emerge that could affect all parties.

He also stated that the GCC General Secretariat hosted the first ministerial meeting of the strategic dialogue between the Cooperation Council and the countries of Central Asia in September 2022, saying that the meeting issued a joint statement confirming the commitment of the parties participating in it to establish a strong and ambitious partnership based on common values, interests, and historical ties.

The Secretary General also recalled the meetings held by the General Secretariat in implementation of the outcom
es of the first strategic dialogue of the GCC and the countries of Central Asia. This included the first meeting of those concerned in the field of economy, trade, and investment, as well as the first meeting of those concerned in the field of culture and media, in addition to the first meeting of those concerned in the health field, besides the first meeting of those concerned in the field of youth and sports between the GCC countries and the countries of Central Asia.
