The foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have
met to hammer out the agenda of the 31st summit of the grouping
here Monday.
The meeting Sunday was chaired by UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh
Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
"We are meeting here today to complete the agenda of the 117th
session of the ministerial council which will be submitted to the
leaders of the GCC," Sheikh Abdullah said.
He said the agenda includes a host of topics that draw attention
of our leaders to political, economic, cultural, and other issues.
"The deliberations in its political dimension express our common
desire to have one lucid, audible voice at international forums
that delivers the message of stability, peace and development
which both our countries and this gathering carry, the UAE
minister added.
