RIYADH: The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi met with the Australian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Mark Donovan at the GCC’s headquarters in Riyadh on Tuesday.

The meeting aimed to discuss ways to enhance cooperation between the GCC and Australia within the framework of the memorandum of understanding and the joint action for strategic dialogue signed between them in 2011 to achieve the common goals of both sides.

During the meeting, several topics were discussed, including reviewing the GCC- Australian relations and exploring ways to develop and strengthen them to serve the common interests.

They also exchanged views on current regional and international events and issues.

During a separate meeting with Peruvian Ambassador to the Kingdom Carlos Zapata, Albudaiwi stressed the need to strengthen ties between the two sides, as part of the framework agreement for economic, commercial, investment and technical cooperation, which was signed in October 2012 and constitutes a basic pillar of the strategic partnership between the GCC and Peru.
