After his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Riyadh, the
Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, or GCC, Abdul-latif
bin Rashid Al-Zayani spoke exclusively to CCTV, he expressed his
positive expectations for future cooperation.
"I'm happy to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit
to Saudi Arabia. And I'm grateful for this chance. We've discussed all
the issues related to the cooperation between China and GCC nations,"
Al-Zayani said.
Established in 1981, the GCC is a regional intergovernmental
political and economic body. It's made up of Gulf states Bahrain,
Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
After taking office as head of the council in 2011, Al-Zayani has
been pushing for tighter economic, political and military coordination
among member states, transforming the GCC into a "Gulf Union".
He now hopes that the GCC can deepen cooperation with China.
