The six member countries of the GCC plan to launch a joint portal next month in a move to link part of their traffic, business and customs systems for easier coordination and data exchange, a report said.
The decision was taken at the recent executive meeting of GCC e-government ministerial committee in Doha, Qatar, reported Arab News.
The system would ease the exchange of information, Ali bin Saleh Al-Soma, adviser to the Minister of Communications and IT and director general of the Kingdom’s e-Government programme, was quoted as saying in the report.
“The network will serve GCC citizens directly for all services without the need to move from one country to another. The services that were reviewed during the meeting include traffic violations, business and corporate establishment services, country-to-country customs and tendering services and some mobility services at airports,” he said.
Abdullatif Surayie, director general of the Central Agency for Information Technology in Kuwait, said that a pilot programme has been launched to link networks in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, adding that other countries would join the network over the next two weeks.
