Details of the New Command
The new joint military command in Kuwait, as a pre-planned entity, will be responsible for coordinating and managing joint military operations of the member states.

Given the current security situation in the Gulf and the existing tensions in international relations, establishing a joint military structure can help the countries in this region respond to challenges in a coordinated and cohesive manner. This command can also act as a platform for exchanging military information and experiences, thereby strengthening relations among member countries.
During this meeting, the defense ministers of the Gulf countries also reviewed new threats and security challenges that may arise in the future. These discussions reflect the serious determination of these countries to enhance security and stability in the Gulf.
Ultimately, the establishment of a joint military command in Kuwait is considered an important step towards increasing military and security cooperation in the region and can act as an effective factor in creating peace and stability in the Gulf.
