The Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) approved on Friday the desire of Kuwait to retain the post of GCC Secretary General for a second term starting from the end of the current term of the Secretary General Dr. Nayef Falah Mubarak Al-Hajraf on January 31, 2023.
This came in the final communiqué of GCC's 43rd session, which kicked off in Riyadh as part of the GCC-China Summit for Cooperation and Development.
The GCC Ministerial Council will follow up on Kuwait’s nomination for its new candidate to uphold the position as of February 1, 2023, and complete the relevant procedures, according to the communiqué.
The Council expressed its deep appreciation for the great, sincere and distinguished efforts made by Al-Hajraf, whose term of office ends next January.
