From Kuwait to Oman - Gulf Railway to be Completed by 2017

Global Arab Network - - Ayman Khalil

Tuesday, 07 December 2010 22:41

GCC Secretary General Abdulrahman Al-Attiyah said the railway linking the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) would be completed in 2017, with the railway stretching from Kuwait to Oman.

Answering a KUNA question after the conclusion of the 31st GCC summit, Al-Attiyah said next year's summit would witness economic feasibility studies and research about the "vital and important project." The multi-billion-dollar 2,117-kilometer-long railway project, to carry passengers and cargo, would pass through all six GCC countries in a drive to facilitate movement of citizens and goods with least possible cost.

Al-Attiyah had attended his last summit that was held in Abu Dhabi. He will be replaced by Dr. Abdullatif Al-Zayyani of Bahrain as of next April. (KUNA)
