Faisal bin Farhan further emphasized that the threats are not limited to Saudi Arabia, and all countries in the region must cooperate to protect their common interests. He pointed to the necessity of strengthening security and military cooperation among the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, stating that such cooperation could help reduce tensions and create a safer environment in the region.

The Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia stressed the need for solidarity and unity among Gulf countries, stating: "As a region, we must stand against external threats and defend our territorial integrity."
Finally, Faisal bin Farhan, highlighting the vital role of the Gulf Cooperation Council in ensuring regional security and stability, called on member countries to stand together with greater unity against common challenges. He also emphasized that Saudi Arabia will always act as a key player in establishing peace and stability in the region.
