Only rarely do we see such a sensible resolution like the one passed by parliament recently. There is no doubt that remittances send by people in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are generous but we should look after our own interests first and maintain close relations with all our neighbours.
As a Muslim state we should try to find common grounds among Muslim states and solutions to conflicts within states like the fighting in Yemen. On their part, the Arab world should also learn to be fair in their dealings with other states and adopt a policy of equality among Muslim countries.
