The Gulf Cooperation Council announced approval of a 'one-stop' travel system designed to simplify cross-border movement for citizens of member states, with the first pilot phase set to launch between the UAE and Bahrain in December this year.
Presenting the initiative at the 42nd meeting of GCC Interior Ministers in Kuwait City, Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) how the new system will enable citizens of Gulf states to complete immigration, customs and security checks at a single checkpoint on arrival, eliminating multiple inspections and reducing arrival-processing time .
