The trade ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have met to study a number of issues aimed at enhancing the flow of intra-GCC trade and removing the obstacles it faces.

The meeting came with the participation of the Secretary-General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Dr. Nayef Falah Mubarak Al-Hajraf.

The ministerial meeting discussed approving the indicative competition law in the GCC countries, adopting the executive regulations of the unified law for consumer protection and entrepreneurship support for small and medium enterprises in the GCC countries, as well as discussing international trade and negotiations, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
