A $60 billion railway project to connect Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE and eventually Oman will be on the agenda of the summit of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) heads of state.
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah will head the Kingdom’s delegation to the meeting in Kuwait on Dec. 14, said senior officials of the GCC General Secretariat on Tuesday. The railway project is planned for completion by 2017.
The railway will offer transportation connections for GCC that currently relies on trucks, ships and planes which are often more expensive than transportation by rail.
