RIYADH, Oct 30 (KUNA) -- GCC Secretary General Abdulrahman Al-Attiyah said Saturday Saudi King Abdullah's call for the Iraqi leaders to meet in the Kingdom was an "important initiative" and reflected Riyadh's leading in backing security and stability in the Arab and Islamic countries.
The calls initiated by Saudi Arabia should have "urgent reaction" from all Iraqi political forces, namely those which are worried about the current situation in Iraq that will not only affect the Iraqis but the Arab and Islamic arenas, Al-Attiyah said in a statement.
King Abdullah has called upon the Iraqi leaders to meet in Saudi Arabia after the Hajj season to address their problems and form a government of national unity.
The call of the Saudi Monarch, said Al-Attiyah, aimed at calming down the situation in Iraq for the ultimate stability and unity of the Iraqi people.
All Iraqis need to sacrifice more than ever to see their country enjoy security and stability, he said. (end) od.bs KUNA 302322 Oct 10NNNN
