The creation of the police force, known as GCC-POL, was announced yesterday at the conclusion of the Gulf bloc’s annual summit in Qatar. Local media have dubbed it the “Gulf Interpol” and say its aim is to improve cooperation against drug trafficking, money laundering and cyber-crime. The GCC is comprised of the energy-rich nations of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Supporting Sisi’s Egypt Meanwhile, Qatar joined its neighbors at a summit yesterday in supporting Egypt under President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, whose crackdown on the Doha-backed Muslim Brotherhood had divided the Gulf monarchies for months. In their final statement, leaders of the six- nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states announced their “full support to Egypt” and the “politi- cal program of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi”. Convening the Doha summit, which had been short- ened to one day, was made possible only by last-minute Kuwaiti mediation that succeeded in resolving a dispute between Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain with Qatar over the Brotherhood.

    Established October 1895 New gender policy on the horizon Page 5 Friday February 20, 2015 $2 VAT Inclusive POTENTIAL FOR MORE EXPORTS THERE are several opportunities for Barbados to boost its exports to China. Pointing out that China has a popula- tion of $1.3 billion, with a significant in- terest in other cultures, Senior Officer with the Barbados Investment Development Corporation Paula Bourne highlighted that while there has been a marked increase in trade between Barbados and China since 2007, there was still significant potential for export growth from the island. She noted for example that products such as rum and sea island cotton could be marketed and sold to the People’s Republic of China as well as music and cultural items. “While we are small and we often think that we do not have a lot to offer, China attaches great importance to economic trade and cultural relations with Barbados and the wider Caribbean. There is significant business potential that can be developed between the two countries and we need to step out and ex- plore,” she stated. Bourne stressed that private sector companies must work with facilitators in order to get samples of their products into Chinese markets. Noting that there were 2.4 million mil- lionaires in China, she pointed out that by gaining the interest of a few of these in products and services of the Caribbean could make a significant difference. In addition, she suggested that in the same way that China had trade agree- ments with various countries across the world, it is time that it also had one in place with Caricom.
