Today, the Gulf leads the world in taking the vaccine for the emerging corona virus (Covid-19), and the Gulf today is about to fully open economic activities, which is what some of its cities have already started, such as Dubai is always the first in everything.

We are facing a strong upcoming Gulf economic bloc, led by most of the young people, backed by an educated elite of the people. The future is bright for these countries, and they only need to join hands and not turn back.

And as the Saudi Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman said at a conference, the Gulf Arab genie is coming strongly, and the Gulf states should benefit from the experience of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in the Emirate of Dubai, And build on them for a prosperous future.

The Gulf is on the verge of big, huge, important and inspiring events, and its countries should make the most of them to be the newest tigers in the world. We are on the verge of Expo 2020 Dubai this year, and in front of us in 2022, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, in addition to huge economic conferences in Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and other Gulf countries.

Therefore, Gulf integration is required, and cooperation with sister countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, to create an Arab human economic force that cannot be underestimated. Whoever joins under its banner is welcome, if the required conditions of cooperation are met.

Pumping Gulf money into the Gulf economy is the magic solution to solving all economic, as well as political, problems, and the big dream, with the integration and cooperation of the Gulf countries with Egypt and Jordan, and whoever joins under their banner, will lead to a big boom in all fields, so the success factors are available in terms of money and competencies. And minds, and all of this only needs to be well-organized and managed, on the condition that there is determination, creativity, and distance from narcissism.

Let our motto and our hope be .. Our Gulf is coming, after we used to sing about “Our Gulf is One, and Our Destiny is One”. You will be told that our Gulf is always one, and our destiny from ancient times is linked with each other, but what is new is that our Gulf is coming as a great global economic power in the coming days.

I had a tweet on my website on “Twitter” (@ Mutawa107) with the beginnings of the global “Corona” crisis, and the great and severe impact on the economies of the whole world, in which I mentioned: “The Gulf countries will emerge victorious from this crisis, and a harmful and beneficial one”, and I adopted in my conclusion On the strength of the economic solvency, and the availability of huge oil reserves in most of the Gulf countries, in addition to the strong sovereign funds of these countries.

With the discovery of the vaccine recently, and the rise of the sun of hope for the end of this crisis associated with the pandemic, despite the suffering experienced by European countries and the closure of one country after another, and the problems plaguing American democracy, we see our Gulf countries, thank God, thanks to their wise leaders and their young guardians, a star shining in the world.

The future is bright for these countries, and they only need to stand together and not turn back.
