Al-Budaiwi added that the meeting included exchanging perspectives on strategic relations and dialogue between member states and global coalitions and discussed regional and international developments. Gulf bloc countries play a vital role in UN, as the latter became largely reliant on Gulf efforts and initiatives, stated Al-Budaiwi, adding that this makes Gulf countries a main partner for cooperation and strategic partnerships.
