Participants at an Arab parliamentary scout meeting in Morocco unanimously agreed to a Bahraini request for a statement condemning Iranian attacks against Bahrain, other Gulf states and Jordan.

The request was put forward by the Bahrain Parliamentary Group delegation during the 18th General Assembly of the Arab Parliamentary Scout Union. It calls for a clear stance on regional security and stability, solidarity with the states concerned, and support for steps taken to defend their sovereignty.

The Bahraini delegation was led by MP Mohammed Al Olaiwi and included Shura Council member Redha Munfaridi and MP Jalal Kadhem.

During the visit, they met Lahcen Haddad, Vice-President of Morocco’s House of Councillors, and Abdelmajid Fassi Fihri, Deputy Speaker of Morocco’s House of Representatives.

Mr Munfaridi said Bahrain and Morocco shared long-standing ties, strengthened under His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and King Mohammed VI of Morocco.

He said parliamentary work between the two kingdoms had grown through shared views, exchanges and co-operation in regional and world forums.

Greetings

The delegation also conveyed the greetings of Parliament Speaker Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam and Shura Council Chairman Ali bin Saleh Al Saleh to both Moroccan chambers.

Talks covered joint projects and further parliamentary work between the two kingdoms.

Mr Munfaridi said the links between Bahrain and Morocco were firm, adding that both sides wished to build on their parliamentary co-operation.

On the sidelines of the general assembly, the Bahraini delegation attended part of the sittings of Morocco’s House of Councillors. The meeting also discussed the union’s administrative and financial reports for 2026, its role, a co-operation protocol with the Mauritanian Scout Association, and a proposal on medals and high honours.

It also reviewed Qatar’s invitation to host the 11th session of the Arab Scout Pioneers Union in November 2026, the second Dr Abdullah Omar Nasseef Award for Scout Work and Innovation, and a conference on scouting, volunteering and economic activity due in October 2026.
