Foreign ministers are meeting in Bahrain today to draw up the agenda for tomorrow's GCC Summit.

His Majesty King Hamad will chair the two-day summit at the Ritz-Carlton Bahrain Hotel and Spa.

Collective security, military affairs, customs union and common market will top the agenda as the ministers meet during an evening session, chaired by Foreign Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, at the hotel.

Recommendations by ministerial councils and joint committees will be reviewed along with ongoing negotiations between the GCC and other global economic blocs.

The ministers will also discuss the Syrian crisis and the GCC initiative on Yemen.

A state-of-the-art media centre for the summit will be opened at 7pm today at the Gulf Hotel under the patronage of Minister of State for Information Affairs Sameera Rajab.
