"Developments in the regional and international arena require the coordination of stands and the devising of means to tackle challenges, secure the region’s interests and achieve the aspirations of its people for a better future of stability and security. The GCC has made many achievements at all sectors, and this requires exerting efforts to safeguard the gains realised since the establishment of the GCC in 1981.
"The Sultanate of Oman reaffirms its permanent stance in supporting the GCC march. Oman also expresses its appreciation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—as leadership and people—and prays to the Almighty Allah to bestow bounties of progress and prosperity on the brotherly Saudi people and all other GCC peoples.”
