HE Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq’s first foreign visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can be considered as a step towards the future that the people of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) aspire for, as its charter calls for integration among the six member states.
In addition, it happened under very sensitive international and regional circumstances, which call for continued consultation among brothers to reach a single vision that would help in developing joint mechanisms to achieve the strategic goal of the GCC.
During this visit, the first step of integration was achieved through the establishment of a Saudi-Omani Coordination Council, which, together with the Saudi-Emirati Coordination Council, constitutes the third pillar in creating an exceptional model for Gulf integration and cooperation at the regional and Arab levels.
