The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has called on the Syrian regime to implement serious and immediate reforms that honour aspirations of the Syrian people. In a statement issued after GCC Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Jeddah, the GCC expressed great regret for the violent actions in Syria that killed and injured large numbers of civilians. According to Kuwait’s official news agency KUNA, the foreign ministers underscored keenness on Syria's stability, security and unity. They urged the Syrian authorities to comply with the Arab initiative. Meanwhile, Syrian opposition has rejected an Arab League-proposed truce plan saying that the initiative is not in touch with reality because it gives the president until June 2014 to step down.
