Kuwait’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and Head of its Mission to the European Union and NATO, Nawaf Al-Enezi, said on Thursday that NATO allies expressed their full solidarity with Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries regarding Iran’s repeated violations. They affirmed their condemnation of these actions, which pose a threat to regional and international security and stability, and demanded that Iran immediately cease these violations. This came during a meeting held by NATO with the ambassadors of the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI) countries; Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar, to discuss the Iranian aggression against the GCC states. The meeting was attended by NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Sekerinska. Ambassador Al-Enezi, in a statement to KUNA, said the meeting commended the GCC countries for exercising restraint in the face of unjustified Iranian aggression, emphasizing their commitment to de-escalation and avoiding further escalation in the region, reflecting their dedication to maintaining regional and international security and stability. The ambassador noted that the 2004-established ICI is based on a partnership with NATO with the aim of promoting regional stability through the exchange of experiences, practical cooperation, and enhancing situational awareness to address security challenges. – Kuna
