During the meeting, several topics were discussed, most notably reviewing and addressing the latest developments in the region and their impact on regional and international security, stability, and economy, SPA reported. The two officials also exchanged views on a number of regional files and the ongoing efforts concerning them, in addition to exploring ways to enhance cooperative ties between the GCC and the UN. Albudaiwi stressed that the treacherous Iranian attacks against the GCC states and the systematic targeting of infrastructure underline Iran's desire to destabilize security and stability and undermine peace efforts, highlighting the significance of putting an end to these attacks and deterring Iran from continuing its aggressive policies to safeguard international peace and security. The UN secretary-general expressed his renewed solidarity with the GCC states against the Iranian attacks and reiterated the importance of halting these attacks that threaten security and stability.
