‘Full GCC union will happen in next generation’ | GulfNews.com:
"The GCC union would be a preliminary step that could ultimately lead to a full unification of Gulf states in the next generation, Abdul Aziz Al Uwaisheq, Assistant Secretary General of the GCC, said on Monday.
He was speaking to Al Arabiya news channel ahead of the annual summit of GCC leaders in Kuwait that started on Tuesday. The comments followed the Omani foreign minister Yousuf Bin Alawi’s announcement on Saturday that his country opposes the establishment of a confederation of Gulf states, warning that it would “simply withdraw” from the new body if it materialised. Bin Alawi has also previously said that a decision for a union should be left to future generations.
“The GCC’s charter stipulates that the objective in the GCC is to achieve unity in all aspects. The union would be a preliminary step that would precede ultimate unification that could take place in the next generation,” Al Uwaisheq told Al Arabiya."
