GCC Secretary General Praises Pakistan's Role in Regional Peace Efforts

The Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) praised Pakistan's contribution to promoting peace in the region during a meeting with Pakistani officials, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.

The two sides discussed ways to enhance cooperation across several areas, including trade, investment, energy and security. Officials also reaffirmed their commitment to working closely together to support regional peace, stability and prosperity.

The GCC, which comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, has increasingly engaged with Pakistan on economic and security matters in recent years. Pakistan has sought to deepen ties with Gulf states as part of a broader push to attract investment and strengthen diplomatic partnerships across the Middle East.
