Dr Anwar Bin Mohammed Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said that the UAE praised the Kuwaiti and US efforts towards strengthening solidarity in the Arabian Gulf.

Gargash said on Twitter, “The UAE appreciates the efforts of Kuwait and the American endeavour towards strengthening solidarity in the Arab Gulf, and supports the Saudi’s efforts on behalf of the four countries, and affirms that the relations of the Gulf Cooperation Council with brotherly Egypt are an essential pillar in preserving Arab security and stability in the region.

"The UAE looks forward to a successful Gulf summit."

On Saturday, the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, said Saudi Arabia under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, reached the final agreement to resolve the GCC dispute.

In a message sent to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Sheikh Nawaf affirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's representation of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt reflects its prestigious position and pioneering role to support the regional security and stability and its keenness on unity, in light of conditions that the whole world and the region experience.

He said: "What has been agreed on is an achievement that will restore the GCC entity, unity and cohesion and the joint Arab action, in facing the challenges that plague the whole world, so as to enable the GCC to work together, in order to achieve the hopes and aspirations of the GCC peoples for security, stability, prosperity and well-being."
