connection among their peoples. I aspire to see the track of the GCC states which are united by religion and language, and even dialect, far much better than the European Union"s track, as the GCC states have all elements of interest interconnection that make them united better than the European Union.
We agreed at the summit on grid and water interconnection between the GCC states. The Gulf single currency agreement was approved and we have taken a decision to establish a railway interconnection among the six states. These projects are good starts to a new phase of period of 30 years after the GCC foundation. These six countries are very important on many levels, and their turning point of development should be very quick.
Our states have deep culture and religious, humanitarian civilization, and they enjoy a great economic strength, and therefore they can achieve great leaps forward in the field of development and growth so that they will not be outside the world development movement.
Q: What do you desire from these six countries to be (in future)?
A: The GCC peoples want that their leaders move along one united track whether in world markets, or at international forums, rather than each state goes on a separate way, which makes owners of interests abroad exploit each state, whether these interests stem from cultural agendas they want to export to our societies, or from economic interests to be imposed by the strong on the weak people.
You ask me what I want from the GCC to be ? I want one strong power dismayed by all, an effective power with one track and a sense of unity.
