The issue of Jordan's joining the GCC is one of the big moves towards political and economic integration in the region of the Arab Gulf and other Arab countries. In fact, Jordan is the historical depth of the Gulf countries. Besides, Jordan has taken distinguished stances concerning the GCC countries and regional and international issues. Jordan has helped the convergence of views in order to promote the common economy in the region by establishing many economic institutions to lay the foundations of economic integrity among this group of countries, as is the case with the European market. It will also be the cornerstone in strengthening the Arab economy, by having the largest possible number of other Arab countries as members of the Council. The latter will be a major economic power in the region, given its great economic potential. The countries of the region are known for their great capacities. This will help achieve economic and financial benefits by adopting a common currency. Besides, these countries can also strengthen their ties with the other countries or economic blocs and work to expand trade exchange with other countries and make investments there. This summit decided to expand the number of Arab countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council, given the international challenges created by the current political circumstances caused by Iran through its interference in the affairs of some Gulf and Arab countries. Moreover, some countries in the region are witnessing instability, and Iran took advantage of the situation to disseminate its poisons in these countries, in order to sow discord and weaken security. Then, they can impose their control over these countries and exploit their wealth and resources. Thus, this unity has become a challenge for opportunists. It aims to strengthen this international community and strengthen its economic system and develop it to benefit the peoples of the GCC countries, Jordan and Morocco. They must work to achieve a strong economy and thus have an Arab common market in the future.

I think whether Jordan joins the Gulf Cooperation Council or not, this will not affect the stability of the Gulf countries. In fact, the Gulf States are stable and thank God, we have no violations and no terrorism. However, it is probably better that Jordan joins the Gulf countries for the sake of mutual cooperation on the level of security. This is in order to fight those who have violated the laws and undermined the Arab countries’ security. But regarding the direct influence on these countries' security, I don’t think that this will affect the current stability the Gulf countries have.

The admission of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to the Gulf Cooperation Council, or GCC countries, is a right and positive move which should have been made earlier. As far as I am concerned, the Jordanian leadership has made great strides in the right direction. Jordan is one of the countries that lack many economy basics, which would contribute to its domestic growth. Indeed, Jordan lacks natural resources. Becoming a member of the GCC is an advantage that will help Jordan improve its economic conditions and revitalize it. This can be achieved through its partnership with Arab Gulf countries. The latter have great economic resources which can revive the economy of Jordan. Jordan’s joining the Gulf Cooperation Council will help it overcome many obstacles that are hampering the Jordanian economy. The latter will witness an unprecedented quantum leap, as the country will achieve many commercial benefits, enter the Gulf markets and exchange a lot of goods. This will greatly benefit Jordan, given the profits it will provide for the Jordanian economy. Besides, many Jordanian workers will have the opportunity to carry out different jobs in the Gulf States. This will enable Jordan to gain a lot of hard currency. Thus, Jordan’s admission to the Gulf Cooperation Council will have positive impacts, as we have stated earlier. Indeed, the Jordanian economy will witness many changes which will revive and revitalize the economic movement as a whole in the country. And this is one of the positive aspects of Jordan's admission to the Gulf Economic Community. The latter will work on financing Jordan, to help it establish many construction and commercial projects in the country. This will open horizons for new jobs in this country in which investments are limited. Besides, undertaking construction projects will contribute to recruiting many people and thus eradicating unemployment. Therefore, Jordan’s admission to the Gulf Cooperation Council is one of the things that ...

The admission of Jordan to the Gulf Cooperation Council, or GCC, is important. The greater the number of member countries, especially Arabic countries, the better. In fact, the Gulf Cooperation Council is not limited to the Gulf States. Any county which wants to join the Council is welcome, as the benefit will be greater and broader. As a matter of fact, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s situation will become better than before, and it will witness significant improvement in terms of economic, trade and tourism growth. Many fields will prosper as well. Jordan will play a major role within the Gulf Cooperation Council. The Gulf countries have to welcome any country which wants to join the council. In fact, joining the GCC will unite the Arab countries and strengthen their cooperation. This will benefit all people and will help the success of such councils, which are based on cooperation and solidarity, and which work on effective contribution and participation, sharing ideas, proposals and opinions about the issues and problems of the Arab and Gulf countries in particular, so that the situation will become better. In fact, a country like Jordan needs to join such cooperation councils, as this will greatly benefit its people. In fact, cooperation will be fruitful and successful, God willing. The countries that cooperate and join efforts will reach the top and become stronger and more important. They will develop in record time. This will enable the countries to cooperate with other countries, to serve the Arab nation. This is what we hope for all the Arab countries. We hope there will be real and extended cooperation, so that the Arab world will regain its position among the rest of the nations, God willing. We also hope that countries and people of the same nation will forget their differences and conflicts. They must work for the development and advancement of the Arab nation. We also hope that the Arab world witnesses a state of stability, success and excellence, so as to be better than the other countries. The unity of the Arab world will be a great challenge to whoever tries to undermine its unity and divide it. Thus, there will be great cooperation among all the Arab countries, and not only the Gulf States. Now the common ambitions of Arabs have become the most important thing.
