Emirates parliament welcomes gulf mediation between Tehran and Abu Dhabi

The parliament of the United Arab Emirates welcomed the Gulf Cooperation Council's formation to a trio committee to mediate between Emirates and Iran in order to reach a peaceful solution for Tehran's occupation to the Emirate Islands or raising the case at the international court justice.

The council assured through a message it sent to the Emirate's President Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan that "the three Islands occupied by Iran belong to the Emirate people no matter how long the occupation lasts."

The council asked Iran to end its occupation of the three Islands so that security and stability prevail in the area and to establishing fraternal relations.

The council also hailed Emirates' signing of a border agreement with Oman in May 1999 and forming a supreme committee with Qatar and Bahrain.
