The establishment of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the 1980s reflected the unified vision and unwavering determination of the Gulf region’s wise leadership to advance their nations and improve the well-being of their peoples. It fulfilled the aspirations of peoples united by deep-rooted ties of brotherhood, shared values, and a common destiny.
Over more than four decades, the GCC has stood as an unprecedented model of unity — a platform for strengthening solidarity among its Member States, enabling collective decision-making, driving sustainable economic development, and anchoring regional and international stability.
The anniversary of the GCC’s founding is an occasion to celebrate the significant milestones and achievements that have bolstered regional security, propelled economic growth, and enhanced the quality of life for its people. These accomplishments include the implementation of ambitious projects and initiatives grounded in shared visions, robust collaboration frameworks, and a comprehensive system of legislative and regulatory structures supporting joint Gulf action.
On this occasion, the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) reaffirms its commitment to the founding principles and vision of the GCC’s founding fathers, may their souls rest in peace. Today, we take pride in the legacy of unity and integration they forged through their visionary leadership, and we remain dedicated to strengthening collaboration with legislative institutions across GCC Member States in pursuit of deeper cooperation and collective progress.
