Riyadh is set to host on Wednesday the 23rd session of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Society for History and Archaeology Forum.
Co-organized by the Heritage Commission and the King Abdulaziz Foundation (Darah), the forum aims to exchange expertise, discuss scientific studies on the history of the GCC countries, and explore future work to enhance cooperation among the participating countries.
The forum's scientific sessions will cover various topics related to the history and cultural heritage of the GCC countries, including prehistoric and ancient historical periods, as well as Islamic history. The forum will also discuss modern and contemporary history of the Gulf region and the most prominent historical and archaeological issues in the history of the Arabian Peninsula.
The GCC Society for History and Archaeology was established in 1997 with the aim of enhancing scientific research in the heritage and history sectors and highlighting the region's heritage and archaeological assets.
The Heritage Commission noted that organizing this scientific forum follows a series of cultural events it organizes to preserve and develop the sector and to highlight the Kingdom's culture.
