Arab solidarity key to overcoming challenges, Bahraini PM says

Kingdom rejects any attempts to sow discord in other countries

-

Bahrain’s Prime Minister Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa has praised the support of Arab countries to the kingdom in combating terrorism and tackling interferen­ce in internal affairs aimed at underminin­g security and eroding stability.

“Countries that seek to eliminate terrorism do not antagonise anyone and all they want is security and safety, which is a fair right,” he said.

“Abuses and attempts to sow strife and discord in other countries cannot be accepted or condoned by anyone,” the premier said as he received ambassador­s of Arab countries accredited to Bahrain.

Bahrain supports every effort to strengthen the bonds of Arab solidarity and improve the level of coordinati­on and consultati­on among Arab countries in order to crystallis­e common visions on various regional issues and crises, he added, stressing that “this is the best way to address challenges and threats to the security of the region.”

Benefits of cooperatio­n

Arab solidarity leads the region to the highest levels of developmen­t within a secure and stable environmen­t while cooperatio­n is the best way to prevent the dangers that beset the region and the safest and most successful way to stop interferen­ce in the domestic affairs of the countries of the region, Prince Khalifa said.

“Preserving Arab security and stability is no longer an option and has become a necessity imposed by the global security and economic challenges that beset the region in various forms and manifestat­ions,” he added.

“The targeting of this region and the attempt to undermine its stability have never stopped, and everyone must be vigilant and adhere to the bonds of cooperatio­n and brotherhoo­d.

“This is the way to survive and overcome these challenges safely without our peoples [being] negatively affected, be it in their developmen­t or in their security.”
