The Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, also known as GCC, is a Privately Owned entity headquartered in Saudi Arabia, founded in 1981 and employing approximately 280 individuals. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the organization serves as a regional, intergovernmental, political, and economic union comprising the member states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
On September 7, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi affirmed that GCC member states have transitioned beyond their role as energy suppliers, becoming influential partners in shaping the global economic and political landscape. Earlier the same day, Albudaiwi stated that the GCC economic bloc remains a magnet for foreign investment, even amid risks like ongoing conflict, shipping disruptions, and energy sector volatility. He highlighted that geopolitical considerations are influencing investment destinations as supply chains reshape and emerging technologies redefine sectors. This follows the UK trade minister's announcement on September 1 that Britain is prepared to sign a trade agreement with the GCC within weeks, seeking deeper economic ties with the region, which is critical for global energy, investment, and trade, particularly during the six-month Iran war. In late August, the Organizing Committee of the Arab Media Summit 2026 named Secretary General AlBudaiwi as a keynote speaker for this year’s summit in Dubai.
