DUBAI, Dec 2 (PTI): Security and economic cooperation and reducing dependence on foreign labour are the issues likely to dominate the two-day summit of six Gulf countries beginning Monday in the Qatari capital Doha, where Iran is also expected to present its stance on its controversial nuclear programme.
This year's summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) which groups Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia will see the participation of Iran for the first time.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would attend the opening session, where he will present his country's stance vis-a-vis its nuclear programme, according to a Kuwait News Agency report.
