Ankara: Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam, Speaker of the Council of Representatives and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Parliamentary Division delegation, engaged in bilateral meetings with parliamentary leaders from France, Brazil, and Uzbekistan. These discussions took place on the sidelines of the 152nd Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) General Assembly in Trkiye.
According to Bahrain News Agency, Jamal Mohammed Fakhro, First Deputy Chairman of the Shura Council, and Abdulnabi Salman Nasser, First Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives, were also present during these meetings. Al Musallam emphasized the objectionable nature of Iranian attacks targeting civilian infrastructure and vital facilities, which have disrupted the stability of affected regions. He highlighted that Bahrain has been facing these unwarranted attacks for over 45 days, with drones and ballistic missiles impacting citizens' homes and essential utilities.
Al Musallam provided detailed accounts of the Iranian aggressions to the parliamentary heads, stressing the condemnation expressed through United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, supported by 136 countries, and United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution 38, backed by 115 countries. Both resolutions reflect international solidarity against the attacks on Bahrain, the Gulf Cooperation Council states, and Jordan.
He reiterated Bahrain's historical commitment to peace and coexistence, noting the Kingdom's tradition of building relationships grounded in mutual respect and its non-aggressive stance towards other nations, despite being subjected to Iran's hostile actions.
The parliamentary leaders from France, Brazil, and Uzbekistan expressed their respect for the relationship with Bahrain and showed enthusiasm for enhancing cooperation to further mutual interests and foster development.
