GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council)

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a political and economic alliance founded in 1981 among six Middle Eastern countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Its goal is to promote economic integration, security, and stability across the Gulf region. The GCC coordinates policies on trade, defense, and development to foster regional cooperation and address common challenges. While each member maintains its sovereignty, they work together to enhance collective prosperity and regional influence.
