The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council -- Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman -- have worked to counter violent extremism regionally and internationally through both military and diplomatic cooperation, says Leanne Erdberg. 

Erdberg is the director for countering violent extremism at the U.S. Institute of Peace, and spoke following her testimony on April 26, 2018, to a joint subcommittee hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on "Grading Counterterrorism Cooperation with the GCC States."
