The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries – Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman – and New Zealand have agreed to pursue negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). This paper provides general information on the negotiation of an FTA between New Zealand and the six GCC countries. Input from New Zealand stakeholders is sought through a public submissions process which, together with preliminary discussions being held with GCC Secretariat officials, will help shape New Zealand’s negotiating mandate ahead of the start of formal negotiations, tentatively scheduled for late June 2007.
