On September 4th, 2025, the Gulf Research Center Foundation Brussels (GRCFB) hosted a roundtable with H.E. Dr. Abdel Aziz Aluwaisheq , Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Negotiations of the GCC, to discuss the dynamics and prospects of EU-GCC partnerships given the constantly evolving and changing landscapes of global governance. The discussion focused on the seven core pillars of the EU-GCC strategic partnership, celebrating its achievement and addressing its lacunae.
