The Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia said that the Camp David summit will focus on three main axes dealing with military cooperation, combating terrorism and confronting regional challenges, including the Iranian interventions in the affairs of the region, stressing that the participation of the Crown Prince and the Deputy Crown Prince in an event outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the same time is an unprecedented matter and a proof of the importance attached to the Camp David summit by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He pointed out that the summit aims to move strong and strategic relations between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for Arab States and the United States of America to a higher level. The Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a press conference at the headquarters of the Saudi Embassy to the United States of America here last night that the summit will focus on three main axes. He added, "Strengthening of the military cooperation between the United States and GCC countries includes facilitating the transfer of technology, weapons, training, joint exercises, and strengthening of the military capabilities of the GCC countries, in addition to a number of technical issues in this context." He pointed out that the second axis deals with the fight against terrorism and discussion of further measures to strengthen bilateral relations in this aspect, noting that the third axis deals with how to confront regional challenges and how to proceed forward with regard to the situations in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya and strengthening the efforts of both sides regarding the achievement of stability in these countries, and how to confront Iran's interventions in the affairs of the region in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere in the region. Al-Jubeir added, "We see Iranian support for terrorist organizations and facilitation for the actions of terrorist organizations, therefore the challenge will be in how to coordinate US and Gulf efforts collectively to confront these aggressive moves on the part of Iran." He pointed out that the US side will provide the Gulf side with explanation for Iran's nuclear talks. --More 15:39 LOCAL TIME 12:39 GMT تغريد
