GCC calls Egypt main pillar for security of Arab region

CAIRO: The GCC considers Egypt a main pillar for national security in the Arab region, the council’s secretary said Sunday. GCC Secretary General Nayef Al-Hajraf met President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi  and hailed his role in protecting Arab national security and defending all causes of the Arab nation,  according to Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady. Al-Hajraf  said the stability of Gulf states are connected to the security of Egypt, and the opposite is true, he added in statements quoted by the state-run news agency MENA.  Al-Hajraf also met Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry at the ministry’s headquarters in Cairo.  The secretary general described ties with Egypt as “historic with firm roots,” as he mentioned the GCC support for the Egyptian government in battling terrorism.

The moves are tentative given the backdrop of longstanding tensions and jostling for influence. They are also likely to fall afoul of the Gulf duo’s insistence that Turkey rein in support for the Muslim Brotherhood, the pan-Islamist group they label as terrorist but which Ankara views as a popular movement. But even limited progress could ease frictions over wider regional issues.
