Braslia: Davi Alcolumbre, President of the Federal Senate of Brazil, received the Ambassadors of the GCC Member States and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to Brazil, led by Bader Abbas Al Hulaibi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain, at the Federal Senate in Braslia, in the presence of the Chair and members of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the meeting reviewed regional developments in light of the Iranian attacks targeting GCC countries and Jordan, and their implications for regional security and stability. Discussions also addressed the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Ambassadors stressed that GCC security is indivisible and that regional stability is essential. They warned that any closure of the Strait or continued targeting of maritime navigation threatens international freedom of navigation, calling for its immediate reopening without restrictions and rejecting any attempts to impose transit fees, which they described as a clear violation of international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
They further noted the growing impact of these Iranian actions on the global economy, international shipping, energy markets, and supply chains.
