Munich: The head of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council said an agreement to cease hostilities in Syria is a “signal of hope” and was optimistic that it could be achieved.
“It is an opportunity for us to turn our undivided attention on Daesh, which is probably the single most challenging global threat,” said GCC Secretary General Abdul Latif Al Zayani. “This is a chance to work together on an issue that unites and doesn’t divide.” He added that it was also an opportunity to deliver humanitarian aid desperately needed by Syrian civilians.
