Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

Yesterday’s GCC Summit announcement is a significant development on the path to restoring Gulf unity. I pay testament to Kuwaiti mediation efforts, and urge the parties to continue building on this positive dialogue.

The UK has long encouraged all parties to find a resolution to this dispute. The GCC is our third largest export market outside of the EU and we look forward to continued collaboration with all our friends in the Gulf to strengthen our shared security and prosperity interests.
