Sanaa : GCC member states are determined to support efforts by the Yemeni government to implement a road map to join the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and follow reform guidelines called for by the conference of donor states, GCC Secretary-General Abdel-Rahman Al-Attiya said Friday.
Speaking to reporters on his arrival to Sanaa, he said the reforms called for are part of a batch of national measures included in the 2006-2010 five-year development plan.
Al-Attiya flew to the Yemeni capital to take part in the Second International Advisory Meeting aimed at discussing the outcome of the London conference of donor states.
The advisory meeting is scheduled to be held on February 4 in Sanaa, capital of Yemen.
“Yemen is the southern gateway to the Arab Gulf area,” Al-Attiya said and added that GCC member states are taking shortcuts to pave the way for Yemen to join the GCC.
He said progress was being made along this way.
