Manama: The Cabinet yesterday welcomed the historic agreement to establish relations between Sudan and Israel, facilitated by the US, as an additional step towards achieving peace, stability and prosperity in the Middle East.
The session, held remotely, was chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier.
The Cabinet further welcomed the US administration’s decision to remove Sudan from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
The session also welcomed the signing of a permanent ceasefire agreement in all parts of Libya, which was reached at the UN headquarters in Geneva, in an important achievement and necessary step that will contribute to establishing security and stability in Libya.
The Cabinet decided to take constitutional and legal measures to recover a number of draft laws presented to the Shura Council and Parliament as it is unnecessary for the government to issue similar laws to them.
The draft laws relate to the Public Health Law, mediation for settlement of disputes, organising the profession of real estate realtors, organisation of pensions and retirement benefits for government employees and changes to a draft law on provisions of social insurance.
The Cabinet mandated the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry to take the necessary measures in this regard.
The Cabinet approved the acceptance of in-kind contributions in the form of ‘stadiums’ constructed by companies supporting the “Al Furjan Stadiums” project, in accordance to the approved construction layout and conditions set out by the Youth and Sports Affairs Ministry, through a memorandum submitted for this purpose by it.
It approved two draft laws and referred them to the Legislative Authority. The first amends the law on the prohibition of the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and the destruction of such weapons, and the second is on the prohibition of the development, production and stockpiling of biological and toxic weapons and the destruction of such weapons.
This comes within the framework of the kingdom’s desire to initiate a national project that prepares legislation to ensure the implementation of Bahrain’s obligations stipulated in international agreements and treaties, said Cabinet secretary general Dr Yasser Al Nasser.
