Trade turnover between Russia and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) grew more than 6% over the past year, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday. The GCC is an intergovernmental and economic union comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

According to Lavrov, Russia and the GCC have managed to maintain “positive dynamics in mutual trade” despite “difficult geopolitical conditions.”

“At the end of last year, trade turnover between Russia and [GCC] countries increased by more than 6% compared to the previous year and exceeded $11 billion. Of course, trade is not developing evenly with every country here, but the overall trends are positive,” the foreign minister said during the sixth round of talks with the representatives of the GCC in Moscow.

He praised the significant increase in bilateral trade over the 12 years of the Russia-GCC cooperation format, noting that the total trade turnover between the parties was only $3.7 billion in 2011.

Lavrov noted that Russia and the Gulf countries “have all the necessary mechanisms to successfully address the common challenges we face, to promote mutually beneficial partnership, and to put it on a systematic strategic basis.”

These are all countries that have previously been well within the ZOG sphere of influence. They are slowly distancing themselves from the West because they see that the balance of power is shifting from the West and over to Asia. Saudi Arabia jumping ship has been particularly significant.

Both Russia and China are striking mutually beneficial deals with these countries and unlike the ZOG West are not forcing weird Jewish social agendas. Agendas like demanding that they legalize gay butt sex and other perverse acts.
