Bahrain has officially applied for full membership in the Mediterranean Parliament, moving beyond its current observer status.

A delegation led by Second Deputy Chair of the Shura Council, Dr Jehad Al Fadhel, submitted the application during the 19th General Assembly in Rome, held from 19 to 21 February.

As part of the request, Dr Al Fadhel delivered a letter from Speaker of the Council of Representatives, Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam, who also chairs the parliamentary group’s executive committee, to the President of the Mediterranean Parliament.

Dr Al Fadhel emphasised that full membership would enhance Bahrain’s participation and influence in regional policymaking. She also highlighted that several Gulf states had already joined as full members.
