His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa reaffirmed Bahrain’s deep commitment to multilateral cooperation, peace, and humanitarian progress in a speech marking the 80th anniversary of the United Nations.

The address came as the international body celebrates eight decades of promoting global unity and development.

Founding

HM the King praised the United Nations as “the living conscience of the world,” highlighting its role as a pillar of peace, security, development, and human rights since its founding.

“From its earliest days, the United Nations has served as a model for constructive international cooperation,” His Majesty stated, calling the anniversary an opportunity to reflect on the UN’s enduring mission and global impact.

HM King Hamad expressed Bahrain’s pride in its UN membership and reiterated the Kingdom’s commitment to strengthening cooperation with the global institution to achieve shared development and humanitarian goals.

Dedication

He underscored Bahrain’s dedication to enhancing strategic partnerships to face global challenges and ensure their outcomes benefit all of humanity.

His Majesty emphasised that Bahrain’s re-election to a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for a two-year term — its second time in the council — was a significant milestone that reflects international confidence in the Kingdom’s balanced and constructive diplomatic approach.

“This achievement reflects the confidence of the international community in Bahrain’s efforts and balanced diplomacy aimed at promoting global peace and harmony,” HM the King said.

His Majesty also highlighted Bahrain’s commitment to global reform and modernisation, particularly in areas such as humanitarian development, digital innovation, education, youth and women empowerment, and intercultural understanding.

He pointed to the efforts of the King Hamad Global Centre for Coexistence and Tolerance as a beacon of Bahrain’s values and international outreach.

On the humanitarian front, HM King Hamad reaffirmed Bahrain’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights to live in peace, freedom, and dignity.

International efforts

He reiterated the Kingdom’s backing for international efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, secure the release of hostages, and accelerate urgent humanitarian aid and reconstruction.

“We look forward to the implementation of the Bahrain Summit’s call to hold an international conference for a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East,” he added.

HM the King congratulated the UN on its 80th anniversary and expressed hope for its continued success, rooted in justice, equality, and the betterment of all people worldwide.
