The Kingdom of Bahrain will always strive for resolving various challenges and crises faced by societies across the world with an aim to establish greater peace and stability, HM King Hamad said yesterday. 

His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa made this remark while speaking at the conclusion of ‘The Bahrain Dialogue Forum: East and The West for Human Coexistence’ at Sakhir Palace in the presence of HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Pope Francis, Professor Ahmed Al Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar Al Sharif and Chairman of the Muslim Council of Elders, Royal Family members, senior government officials, high-ranking military officials, prominent citizens and members of the media.  

His Majesty said the forum has set a new chapter in the Kingdom’s efforts to ensure peace, harmony and stability across the world.

“This is an historic day of a landmark event, the noble objectives of which act in accordance with what our country seeks for the good and advancement of mankind, so that every human being may enjoy a dignified and fulfilling life in a more stable and secure world. 

“We are pleased to express to all our great pleasure in the patronage of this important global gathering, based on our belief in the influential role of religious leaders, intellectuals and experts in resolving the various challenges and crises faced by our societies for greater peace and stability,” His Majesty highlighted. 

His Majesty said that valuable outcomes have emerged out of the forum, which will create a roadmap for a peaceful and stable world.

“We have all followed with interest the discussions and deliberations of this forum, and we look on its valuable outcomes and recommendations with optimism and great hope, as a welcome strengthening of the path of human fraternity.  

“The path of human fraternity is in need of a renewal of the means of rapprochement and understanding among all people of religions and beliefs as a fundamental starting point to replace disagreement with consensus, and establish unity in place of division.”

His Majesty pointed out that consensus remains the only solution to end conflicts across the world including the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

“As we proceed together, hand in hand, in realising the hope of a prosperous future, we must all come to a consensus on ending the Russian- Ukrainian war and starting serious negotiations for the good of all mankind. 

“The Kingdom of Bahrain strongly supports all endeavours to contribute to the spread of peace, and the consolidation of the values of tolerance and coexistence between our nations and peoples.”

His Majesty appreciated the participants of ‘The Bahrain Dialogue Forum’ for their commendable and valued efforts in the performance of their noble tasks.

The King thanked the organisers who worked hard to make the forum a grand success.
