and a common currency?.................

read more from arab news.....


"Eminent UAE-based experts and intellectuals have joined the opinion leaders across the Gulf in enthusiastically welcoming the clarion call given by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah this past week for a Union of Gulf states. Newspapers across the country, both Arabic and English, have carried special features and opinion articles hailing King Abdullah’s proposal terming it as historic, long due and timely move.
Popular Emirati commentator and author Mohammad Al-Asoomi, who is considered an authority on GCC affairs, lauded it as a “qualitative leap for joint action on many levels.” He said: “By making this historic call, GCC leaders have sent several messages. The most important is that the bloc is inseparable, and is determined to push ahead with its plans toward complete integration and creation of a powerful entity that is equal to other blocs in the world. This move is in line with the spirit of the age and rapid global changes which call for the creation of big blocs to tackle present world realities.”
