Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam met the Bahrain All-Party Parliamentary Group at the UK Parliament in London, as part of an official visit by the Parliament delegation at the invitation of House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Mr Al Musallam said that Bahrain’s legislative authority is guided by the vision of His Majesty King Hamad and is committed to advancing parliamentary diplomacy and active partnerships with other countries.
He said that this focus on diplomacy and partnerships helps promote dialogue and enables Parliament to play a key role in supporting co-operation with other nations.
“Parliamentary co-operation between Bahrain and the UK is based on close, longstanding ties and goes beyond the exchange of expertise,” he said, adding, “It serves as a platform for developing shared visions for stability and sustainable development, and for using constructive dialogue to enhance co-operation and address common challenges.”
He commended the role of the Bahrain All-Party Parliamentary Group in building strong mutual understanding, expanding parliamentary partnership, bringing views closer on shared issues, co-ordinating positions internationally, and supporting agreements between Bahrain and the UK for the benefit of both countries.
