The upcoming GCC summit in Manama will discus several issues related to political and security conditions in the region. The current events, especially the situation in Syria and threats facing the Gulf, will top the summit’s agenda.
However, economic cooperation will not be given the same attention it had in the previous summits for several reasons, including challenges facing the GCC countries, requiring more intra-GCC coordination and solidarity.
Meanwhile, economic integration of the bloc will not be completely achieved, despite several achievements such as Free Trade Zone, Customs Union and the free movement of commodities and professional workers among the GCC countries.
