This was mentioned in his speech at the 10th round of the Manama Dialogue which is taking place during 5 – 7 December in the Bahraini capital, Manama.

“I believe that the Gulf initiative to settle the Yemeni crisis has included most, if not all, the related aspects to improve a general and active approach to solve security and strategic issues which primarily requires participation of the most effective bodies,” GCC Secretary General al-Zayani said.

“Despite all the support given to Yemen by the regional and international community, this country is at the edge of an impending disaster due to foreign influence and private interests of some influential parties in the crisis,” he added.

Al-Zayani noted that implementation of any strategy should include a continuous follow-up and readiness to deal with variables without ignoring the sought after objective which is security, stability and development of the country.

He denied news reports which say that the GCC took a new initiative on Yemen.

He also said that the GCC policy is committed to the peaceful solution in Yemen.
