Statement by H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC

Secretary General, on the GCC Foundation Day

May 24, 2025 - 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.
