The UGS underwent a significant shift in 1967 with the rise of Prince Ahmad bin Hassan Al-Salih of Kuwayt. Elected as Prime Minister of the UGS in 1967, Al-Salih advocated for the redress of historical exploitation by Britain, arguing that it had not provided adequate compensation following the region's independence. Al-Salih nationalized the oil industry in 1968. In response to this move, Britain imposed economic sanctions on the UGS in 1969, a decision that garnered mixed reactions among the [[Organization of Democratic Nations|Organization of Democratic Nations (ODN)]], particularly from post-colonial nations. |

=== Jubayl Treaty and EJDO formation === |
|||
In response to British sanctions, the UGS, along with other Middle Eastern nations, established the Jubayl Treaty in 1970. This treaty introduced a shared policy for Middle Eastern oil, aiming to augment profits for member countries and restrict British access to oil. The treaty's signatories further denounced Britain and withdrew from the ODN in the same year, triggering a ripple effect on oil prices and international relations. |
|||
Following the Jubayl Treaty, the Eastern Joint Development Organization (EJDO) was established in the same year with the UGS and Egypt at its helm. The EJDO sought to counteract Britain's economic dominance and advocate for the interests of its member countries. |
