Gulf Cooperation system
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a regional political and economic union established in 1981, comprising Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. Its primary founding objectives were to foster coordination and integration among member states, with a strong focus on security and stability in the Persian Gulf region following the Iran-Iraq War.
Arab countries
The Arab countries, located across the Middle East and North Africa, share a common linguistic and cultural heritage rooted in the Arabic language and the historical spread of Islam from the 7th century onward. Their modern political boundaries were largely shaped by 20th-century colonial agreements and the subsequent establishment of independent nation-states. This diverse region is home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites, including ancient cities, Islamic architectural marvels, and significant archaeological remains from pre-Islamic civilizations.
