CAIRO, December 4 (RIA Novosti) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for the creation of a Persian Gulf security pact at a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on Tuesday.
Iran is not a GCC member, but was a guest at the summit for the first time in the organization's 27-year history.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that security issues in the region affected all of the Persian Gulf states.
"Any security problem that could happen in one country will have a negative effect on the security of all countries," he said.
The GCC, comprising Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, was holding a two-day summit in Doha, Qatar, which started on Monday.
Tehran's relations with the Persian Gulf Arab states are complicated, with Iran unhappy at the GCC nations' close cooperation with the U.S.
The meeting took place on the same day that U.S. President George Bush refused to rule out military action against Iran, despite a report saying the Islamic Republic may have no plans to build nuclear weapons.
