1- The establishment of the Cooperation Council for the Arab Gulf States came for the purpose of building a solid foundation for enhancing the security of the Arab Gulf region, after the emergence of several international and regional challenges, including the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, and the outbreak of the Iraq-Iran war that lasted for eight years. 1980-1988, and the feeling of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf states is that the best solution for maintaining the security and stability of the Gulf states lies in establishing a political-economic system responsible for preserving the interests of those states.
2- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s leadership of the Gulf Cooperation Council and its support for it stemmed from its strategic interests. The Kingdom was the largest country in terms of population, economic power, and military forces, and it had political relations with all the GCC countries. This gave it an influential role in determining the Council’s path and projects, and led it to choose Riyadh as the headquarters of its secretariat, making it the main center for making decisions and implementing relevant projects.
