Gulf Cooperation Council

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a political and economic alliance formed in 1981 among six Middle Eastern countries: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar. Its purpose is to promote regional stability, economic integration, and coordinated policies on issues like security, trade, and infrastructure. The GCC members share cultural ties, common concerns, and aim to enhance cooperation to address regional challenges collectively. It functions through regular meetings and joint initiatives, striving to strengthen stability and development across the Gulf region.
