海合会六国签署铁路项目总协议：2117公里区域铁路网已完成55.9%，目标2030年12月全线运营
麦纳麦 — 海湾合作委员会六个成员国的交通部长11月8日在巴林首都麦纳麦签署海合会铁路项目总协议，为连接六国的区域铁路网建立共同的实施与运营框架。签约仪式在利法宫举行，巴林王储兼首相萨勒曼·本·哈马德·阿勒哈利法、海合会秘书长贾西姆·穆罕默德·布达维与各成员国交通部长出席，时值海合会交通与通信部长级委员会第31次会议。
这一铁路网全长约2,117公里，客货两用，自北向南连通科威特、沙特阿拉伯、巴林、卡塔尔、阿拉伯联合酋长国与阿曼。布达维表示，项目目前已完成约55.9%，目标在2030年12月全线投入运营，核心基建成本估计约160亿美元。
总协议确立了各成员国在实施时间表、技术标准、安全要求与互联互通方面的共同义务，各国国家铁路网将按统一标准接入区域系统。总部设在利雅得的海合会铁路局负责协调实施、跟踪进度，并协助各国处理技术与运营障碍。
海合会铁路筹划已逾十年。海合会部长理事会2023年12月已把2030年12月定为全网建成目标；阿曼与阿联酋之间238公里的哈菲特铁路是先行推进的跨境路段之一。海合会方面称，全网贯通后将提升六国之间的人员与货物流动效率，深化区域经济一体化。

GCC Six States Sign General Agreement for Regional Railway: 2,117-km Network 55.9% Complete, Full Operations Targeted for December 2030
MANAMA — Transport ministers of the six Gulf Cooperation Council member states signed the General Agreement for the GCC Railway Project in Manama, Bahrain, on November 8, establishing a common framework for implementing and operating a regional railway network linking all six countries. The signing took place at Riffa Palace in the presence of Bahrain's Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi and the member states' transport ministers, on the sidelines of the 31st meeting of the GCC Ministerial Committee on Transport and Communications.
The network will run about 2,117 kilometres, carrying both passengers and freight, and will connect Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Albudaiwi said the project is about 55.9 percent complete, with full operations targeted for December 2030 and core infrastructure costs estimated at about $16 billion.
The agreement sets out the member states' common obligations on implementation schedules, technical standards, safety requirements and interoperability, with national rail networks connecting into the regional system to unified standards. The GCC Railways Authority, headquartered in Riyadh, will coordinate implementation, monitor progress and help governments address technical and operational obstacles.
The GCC railway has been planned for more than a decade. The GCC Ministerial Council set December 2030 as the completion target in December 2023, and the 238-kilometre Hafeet Rail link between Oman and the UAE is among the cross-border sections already advancing. The GCC says a completed network will improve the movement of people and goods among the six states and deepen regional economic integration.
