Established in 1981, the Gulf Cooperation Council, or GCC, is the economic and political union of six Gulf nations: Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. In the 33 years since its inception, the Council has formulated trade agreements, created a joint military organization and generally worked towards a greater financial and economic union. This region is of great geopolitical, historical and cultural importance. The purpose of coming together today is to provide a forum in which the various aspects of these states and this confederation may be explored in depth.
