Transcript

00:00Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, is in Brussels to join his EU

00:05and Gulf counterparts for the first-ever EU-Gulf cooperation summit, Euronews can confirm.

00:11Glowing global insecurity, the expansion of wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, trade

00:16and renewed efforts for a two-state solution are all on the agenda.

00:20Jasmin Al-Budawi is Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

00:25One of the requests from EU member states throughout the Gulf summit was for greater

00:33recognition and appreciation from Gulf countries regarding the role of Russia as a global security

00:39threat, but also in particular, obviously, a threat to the security of Europe, because

00:43we haven't really seen that so far.

00:45Do you see Russia as a security threat to the world, and do you recognise its threat

00:51to Europe, given of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine?

00:54Nobody should use any kind of force.

00:58I am personally from Kuwait, and I know what is the use of force mean.

01:02My country was gone in few hours when Saddam invaded Kuwait in the 90s.

01:08So when we talk about dialogue or diplomacy, we talk about the need, the humanity need

01:17for dialogue and diplomacy.

01:19We make sure that this message gets across to every single partner that we are engaged

01:26with.

01:27But do you recognise Russia as a security threat, given that they are bombing children's

01:31cancer hospitals in Kyiv, and dialogue hasn't worked because it didn't work to prevent Putin

01:37from invading Ukraine?

01:38Well, there is a Security Council, there is a United Nations, where we all can go.

01:44It is our court.

01:46This is where you need to address these kind of questions.

01:52You go to your General Assembly in the United Nations, you go to the Security Council, and

01:57address it.

01:58Nobody, again, should be singled out on certain issue or certain file.

02:04It has to be a comprehensive effort, international comprehensive effort, that deals with these

02:10kind of questions.
