Peace, a collective responsibility

In a message to the world on the occasion of the United Nations Day, Which falls today, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister, stated that reaching a shared vision for the development of United Nations mechanisms in the face of current challenges would enrich the ability of the international organisation to lead joint action aimed to realise aspired goals and build a secure and stable world.

His Royal Highness called for embracing a new international vision to handle current events and contain crises in various regions of the world through the delivery of United Nations structures and more balanced mechanisms that meet the aspirations of nations in the field of development.

He said that the Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, is keen to strengthen cooperation with different international community members that are interested in contributing to the implementation of peace, security and stability out of belief in the importance of collective responsibility in interests of humanity and future generations.

“The United Nations being the umbrella organisation of all countries and peoples of the world has a great responsibility in terms of building more strong and effective international partnerships that preserve global peace and security,” he said.

He also pointed out that the successive developments in the world have exacerbated the situation and produced more hotbeds of tension and conflict, which increases the need to uphold the lofty goals and principles of the United Nations, and work together to reinforce its role in establishing dialogue and cooperation as fundamental principles for promoting global stability, the premier confirmed.

HRH Premier stressed that the United Nations has shaped an operative structure for associating positive cooperation in serving several international and humanitarian issues and has succeeded in recognising the will of peoples and societies to lay the grounds for peace, cooperation and dialogue for a stable world, which must be sustained and reinforced.
