The Saudi Cabinet has approved the implementation of the decision of the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council, issued at its 46th session held in the Kingdom of Bahrain, on adopting the general agreement to link the GCC states through the Gulf Railway project.
The Gulf Railway project aims to strengthen economic integration among GCC states by developing interconnected infrastructure that supports transport and logistics and helps raise the efficiency of regional connectivity between member states, according to a post by the Saudi Transport General Authority on X.
The project also supports easier movement of people between GCC states, as well as smoother trade and logistics flows, consolidating the role of rail transport in supporting Gulf interconnection at the economic and development levels.
The Transport General Authority stressed that the adoption of the agreement is an extension of the leadership's keenness to support strategic projects that help achieve the targets of Saudi Vision 2030 and develop a more integrated and efficient transport system at the local and regional levels.
The Gulf Railway project is one of the important regional projects in the transport sector, as it aims to link GCC states with a shared rail network that supports the movement of people and goods and strengthens integration between production centers, markets, ports and logistics zones in the region.
