UAE needs no mediation on monetary union decision

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs H.E. Dr Anwar Mohammed Gargash has affirmed that the UAE needs no mediation with fellow GCC countries over its decision to withdraw from the Gulf monetary union.

Gargash was quoted today by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) as saying the UAE was an active Gulf state that supported the GCC and had open communication channels with other member states.

"Having different views on some issues is a normal matter," he told KUNA.
