Stability

Security remains the first priority as Bahrain navigates exceptional regional circumstances following the recent Iranian shelling targeting the Kingdom and neighbouring states.

MP Ahmed Sabah Al Salloom, Chairman of Parliament’s Financial and Economic Affairs Committee, said state institutions responded with high efficiency and firm national responsibility, reflecting advanced readiness across security and military bodies.

He noted that early monitoring systems, swift activation of emergency plans and immediate field coordination demonstrated that contingency planning was not theoretical but a tested and integrated framework. He added that the discipline and professionalism shown by personnel underscored a steadfast commitment to protecting Bahrain’s territory and airspace.

Al Salloom praised the role of Bahrain Defence Force and the Ministry of Interior in reinforcing defence and early warning systems, securing vital facilities and ensuring continuity of essential services without disruption. Transparent communication with the public, he said, helped maintain reassurance and limit rumours.

Economy

From an economic perspective, he stressed that security stability forms the foundation for safeguarding national gains and sustaining market activity. He said state institutions showed clear preparedness to protect supply chains, maintain financial and banking operations and secure essential goods.

Al Salloom affirmed the committee’s full support for measures taken to strengthen national security, urging community cohesion and reliance on official sources. Bahrain, he concluded, remains resilient, united and fully capable of overcoming challenges.
