Manama: Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Minister of Foreign Affairs, received €š¬…¡¬‚¬¦¡¬‚¬Å¡¬¦¡¬‚¬Å¡¬€¦¡¬¦¡¬°ric Giraud-Telme, Ambassador of the French Republic to the Kingdom of Bahrain. During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the historic and close relations between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the French Republic, and discussed opportunities to further strengthen cooperation across various domains in a manner that serves common interests.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the discussions also covered developments in the region, focusing on the implications of continued Iranian attacks against the Kingdom of Bahrain. These attacks target infrastructure, civilian facilities, and residential areas. The two sides explored means to enhance joint cooperation and coordination within the United Nations Security Council. This dialogue is particularly significant given Bahrain's non-permanent membership and France's permanent membership, as both countries aim to continue consultations to address Iran's threats to regional security and stability, as well as international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
The meeting was attended by Ambassador Saeed Abdulkhaliq Saeed, Chief of the Coordination and Follow-up Sector at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
