Riyadh: The Secretary-General of the GCC Dr Abdul Latif bin Rashid Al Zayani condemned Saturday the attacks against the Saudi embassy and consulate in Iran.
Al Zayani said today that Iranian authorities bear the full responsibility of the attacks after they failed to prevent them and protect diplomatic missions in line with Vienna's 1961 Convention on Consular Relations.
The GCC also condemned Iran's hostile statements regarding Saudi Arabia's execution of terrorists, considering it an intervention in Saudi internal affairs.
The Secretary-General concluded his remarks by saying that member countries support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in all its measures to combat terrorism.
