RIYADH, April 20 (KUNA) -- GCC Secretary General Abdullateef Al-Zayani condemned on Sunday repeated allegations by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki against Saudi Arabia, which he described as "irresponsible," contradict with political and diplomatic norms.
Al-Zayani expressed, in a statement, his rejection of Al-Maliki's accusations that Saudi Arabia was interfering in Iraq's affairs, including constant accusations to other GCC countries.
The GCC chief noted that such accusations come to cover up Al-Maliki's failure to address domestic problems and dealing with political powers inside his country.
Al-Zayani affirmed that the GCC wishes to see security and stability restored in Iraq.
The secretary general also expressed hopes that Al-Maliki would adopt policies contributing to restorting Iraq's stability, promoting development and reinforcing national unity, for the sake of Iraqi people. (end) yms.mb
