海湾国家目标成为全球巨头
为了让海湾地区的公司企业能与世界性综合大型企业相媲美，海湾国家必须团结在一起。
本周一，经济部长Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri在第十五届海合会联合展览和商人论坛的公开讲话中提出这一号召。活动地点为沙迦国际展览中心。这是为了能让海湾地区的公司与国际性大企业竞争的一个至关重要的约定。
早些时候，沙迦副统治者Shaikh Abdullah bin Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi和经济部长共同展开了这个活动。七年之后，这一活动被再次发起。
这个为期5天的活动，在其三十年的历史中首次在沙迦举行。该活动是由海湾合作委员会成员国共同推进，以促进区域内贸易。
海湾国家之间的贸易额在2013年内增长了5.5%，从2012年的880亿美元增加到930亿美元。
经济部部长表示，他希望这样的增长能够继续上涨，尤其是在科威特举办了一次成功的金融和经济合作委员会会议之后。所有的成员都同意使用海合会关税联盟。
“我们重申我们的承诺，推动海湾合作委员会之间的合作以实现社会和经济一体化，支持海湾海湾合作委员会成员国国家和人民的利益。”第十五届海合会联合展览有超过两百家来自海湾地区的企业前来参展，包括来自阿联酋的70家参展商，其中有国有企业，也有领先的私人企业。
沙迦展览中心首席执行官Saif Mohammed Al Midfa表示更强大的经济一体化将会让海湾国家在与其他区域贸易协定谈判中占据上风。即将建设的综合性铁路网络也是促进区域一体化的一个重要的催化剂。
海合会国家强调实现经济一体化的必要性，这与海湾地区共同市场和关税联盟一样被海湾国家视为重要的目标。这将使商品、劳动、资本以及服务在区域内的流动更加的合理化。
该展览的目的除了要支持中小企业的发展，还专注于鼓励创新，展示投资机会，推动服务业、工业和制造业的发展，提高区域贸易额。
