The GCC is a union of six countries in the Gulf region — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. The announcement regarding the resumption of talks came after a meeting of the Indian Trade Minister Piyush Goyal with GCC Secretary-General Nayef Falah Al-Hajraf. I am sure the engagement with the GCC will be in tune with the truly unique and special relations enjoyed by the countries of the GCC region and India. The GCC countries contribute almost 35 percent of India’s oil imports and 70 percent of its gas imports, according to Indian commerce ministry data. “We very much appreciate the contributions made by the Indian expats living in the GCC countries and contributing to the GCC economy,” the GCC secretary-general said.
