KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 (KUNA) -- The Federation of GCC Chambers (FGCCC) is set to launch its GCC-Asean economic centre in South-East Asia in August this year.
However, the exact location for the centre has yet to be identified.
A promoter of the centre, Hamad Ali Al-Sifran, said he was currently evaluating several invitations and proposals from the governments of Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) before deciding on the location.
To date, the centre has identified several prominent figures from all the GCC countries to be appointed as board members.
With its headquarters in Damman, Saudi Arabia, the FGCCC represents all federations and chambers of commerce of the Arab Gulf states comprising Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
FGCCC's secretary general, Abdulrahim Hassan Al-Naqi was quoted as saying the centre would be its official representative office for all activities within Asean.(end) mma.wsa KUNA 090902 Jul 08NNNN
