Foreign Minister to attend UNGA session
New York : The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, has arrived in New York to take part in the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 72).
UNGA debates focus on important international issues including the global war on terrorism, sustainable development and the situation in the Middle East.
The minister said that Bahrain’s participation in UNGA meetings stems from its firm belief in the importance of reactivation of international joint action and collective work to seek political solutions to the various regional and global crises.
“The Kingdom of Bahrain is always keen on efficiently participating in UN activities in line with its constant policy, based on extending cooperation bridges with international organisations,” the minister said.
Shaikh Khalid expressed his hope that the UNGA would pave the way for a safer and more secure world.
Earlier, UNGA 72 President, Miroslav Lajčák, opened the session under the theme “focusing on People: Striving for Peace and a Decent Life for all on a Sustainable Planet.”
