The Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Gulf (GCC) Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani rejected the accusations made by the Permanent Representative of Egypt to the Arab League to the State of Qatar of supporting terrorism, calling them false accusations that defy truth and ignore the sincere efforts of the State of Qatar with its sisterly states, the members of the Council, and the Arab countries to combat terrorism and extremism at various levels and support joint Arab action in the Arab and international forums and all that would preserve the interests of the Arab nation. In a statement today, Dr. Al-Zayani stressed that "such statements do not help to consolidate Arab solidarity, at a time when our Arab countries are facing considerable challenges that threaten their security, stability and sovereignty."
