Riyadh, September 16, SPA -- Secretary General of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) Abdul-Rahman bin Hamad Al-Atiyyah has
hailed the consent of the Saudi Council of Ministers during its
meeting held last night on the application of full equality between
citizens of the GCC member states in the field of employment in the
government sector.

This comes as an implementation of the decision of the GCC Supreme
Council during its 23rd session, which was held in Doha, Qatar.


Al-Atiyyah expressed his great pride of the efforts that the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz Al
Saud and the other GCC leaders are exerting in order to achieve Gulf
citizenship in all its dimensions and to apply the decisions of the
Supreme Council of the GCC in reality.


He said that this reflects the GCC leaders' sincere support to the
joint work between the Council's member states to achieve progress
and prosperity for these countries and their citizens.

The GCC is made up of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates,
Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
