GCC Secretary-General on Energy Security
The Gulf newspaper focused on strengthening the position of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as a trusted partner in supporting peace, stability, and global energy security, fifty-five years after its founding. The Secretary-General emphasized that the Council has become an influential regional organization, with a steadfast stance on the Palestinian issue and support for a two-state solution. He also reviewed the Council’s role in safeguarding energy security, especially in facing regional disruptions, and called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in restoring stability and ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. He highlighted the challenges resulting from Iranian escalation, while praising Qatar and Oman for maintaining dialogue channels. Economically, he pointed out that the GCC countries’ combined economy exceeds $2.4 trillion, with projections to reach around $6 trillion by 2050, and sovereign wealth funds totaling nearly $5 trillion, all of which enhance investment opportunities and economic diversification. He also stressed the importance of Gulf-U.S. partnership in building a knowledge-based economy focused on artificial intelligence, medical sciences, and clean energy, through cooperation with American academic institutions, including the University of Utah.
