Bahrain Leads the Way in Promoting Global Harmony and Acceptance

The minister made these remarks during his speech at the annual Ramadan Ghabga hosted by the King Hamad Global Center for Peaceful Coexistence. The event brought together high-profile dignitaries, including government officials, ambassadors, diplomats, religious leaders, media personalities, and cultural figures, in recognition of their support for Bahrain’s pioneering peace initiatives. The gathering also celebrated the United Nations' historic decision to adopt Bahrain’s proposal for an International Day of Peaceful Coexistence.

International Day of Peaceful Coexistence

In his address, H.E. Dr. Shaikh Abdulla expressed immense pride in the United Nations’ formal adoption of Bahrain’s draft resolution, which officially designates January 28 as the International Day of Peaceful Coexistence. This milestone underscores Bahrain's steadfast leadership in advocating global values of peace, dialogue, and mutual understanding. Under the leadership of His Majesty the King, Bahrain has continually worked to reject intolerance and hatred while promoting respect for human, religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity worldwide.

H.E. highlighted that the adoption of this initiative, with the support of 162 UN member states, is a testament to the international community’s appreciation of Bahrain’s royal initiatives aimed at fostering global peace and harmony. These initiatives include the establishment of the King Hamad Global Center for Peaceful Coexistence, the launch of the King Hamad Award for Peaceful Coexistence, and other global humanitarian efforts focused on empowering women and youth, promoting interfaith dialogue, and advocating for an international convention to criminalize religious, sectarian, and racial hate speech.
