Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 08/22/2019 - 16:24

The Gulf Cooperation Council was established in May 1981 by the heads of state of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. While Western observers considered security to be main objective of the members, security is not mentioned in the Council's foundation charter. The council intends to promote close coordination in the economic and social spheres between the member states.
