The head of the Gulf Cooperation Council yesterday urged Arabs to assume proactive roles in the development of nuclear energy.
The GCC Secretary-General Abdul Rahman Al Attiyah said cooperation programmes must be launched instead of remaining idle or depending on other states.
"I believe that you agree with me that we will no longer accept to live in the shadow of others or on the sidelines of nuclear progress or shut ourselves outside developments in this vital sphere," Al Atiyyah said.
