The case of Kuwait’s dismantling of a spy network working for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards is being discussed by Gulf security services, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted Prince Naif as saying on the sidelines of a meeting of GCC interior ministers here Wednesday evening.
“We absolutely contradict those reports” that GCC security has been infiltrated by Iran, he said.
Kuwaiti Interior Minister Sheikh Jaber Khaled Al-Sabah called on his Gulf counterparts to review their security cooperation in the light of the case.
“The security agreement (between the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council) is in urgent need of amendment in order to cope with the emerging events,” Sheikh Jaber said.
Prince Naif welcomed Kuwait’s proposal to update the GCC security agreement.
In a press statement following the 11th consultation meeting of the GCC interior ministers which concluded Wednesday evening, Prince Naif hoped that all GCC countries would approve the proposal. Prince Naif stressed that Yemen was cooperating with the security services in Saudi Arabia.
