The Bahrain Cabinet has approved a memorandum submitted by the Civil Service Council to adopt flexible working hours across ministries and government agencies.
The new policy will provide employees with a three-hour window to begin their workday to increase productivity. The Cabinet directed the Civil Service Bureau to take the necessary measures to implement the policy.
The decision came as the Deputy King, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, chaired yesterday the weekly Cabinet meeting at Gudaibiya Palace.
Coronation
The Cabinet highlighted the importance of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s attendance at the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Head of the Commonwealth, which was also attended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, which reflects the depth of relations between the two countries.
The Cabinet congratulated HM King Charles III on his coronation and thanked the UK for its hospitality. On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day and Bahraini Press Day, the Cabinet commended HM the King’s address on the importance of addressing hate speech.
The Cabinet highlighted the contributions of Bahrainis in the press and media and emphasised their pivotal role in supporting the Kingdom’s comprehensive development. To mark International Nursing Day, the Cabinet thanked Bahraini nursing professionals for providing immaculate health services to Bahraini citizens and residents.
Support
The Cabinet affirmed the Kingdom of Bahrain’s support for the Saudi-American initiative to commence preliminary talks in Jeddah between representatives of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces from the Republic of the Sudan.
These talks are designed to encourage the cessation of military operations in Sudan, ultimately ending the ongoing conflict. The mediation will be led by Saudi Arabia and the US, with support from the Quartet, the Arab League, and the tripartite mechanism represented by the United Nations Mission, the African Union, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development.
Decision
The Cabinet welcomed the decision of the council of the League of Arab States in its extraordinary session to resume the participation of delegations of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic in the meetings of the council and all its affiliated organisations.
The Cabinet noted that this decision supports a commitment to preserving Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, consistent with common Arab interests and aspirations.
