In light of the extremely sensitive circumstances that the region is going through, which are boiling over a hot plate of political and military events, the Manama Dialogue Summit, which is being held today (Friday) and will last for three days, stands out as one of the most important international platforms for constructive dialogue and the exchange of visions about the future of regional and international security. The holding of the forum this year comes at a very precise timing, as the world is witnessing rapid transformations and escalating challenges in several regions, which makes dialogue necessary to get out of these crises that are ravaging the entire region and to be replaced by peace, security and stability.
The Kingdom of Bahrain has established its position as the capital of dialogue and peace, through its permanent hosting of this international event that brings together decision-makers, experts, and thought leaders from various parts of the world. This ongoing hosting is not merely the organization of an annual event, but rather an expression of a firm Bahraini vision that believes that peace begins with the word. This is the message of Bahrain and its leadership, which keeps peace and stability in mind and that understanding is the most effective and only way to spare people the scourge of conflict.
This year’s summit is doubly important, as it comes amidst a volatile regional reality and growing security and economic challenges, which makes the “Manama Dialogue” platform a valuable opportunity to bring viewpoints closer and formulate common visions towards a more stable future. The broad participation of leaders of countries and international institutions also reflects the international community’s confidence in Bahrain’s balanced role in regional and international issues.
In light of the political unrest and humanitarian crises the world is witnessing, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s model for managing dialogue and its embrace of open intellectual and political meetings embodies the wise approach established by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the great king of the country, may God protect and preserve him, in making Bahrain an oasis of coexistence and human understanding.
Hamsa Bahrain, by hosting the annual Manama Dialogue, confirms that it is an oasis of security and safety and a forum for bridging viewpoints to reach a just and comprehensive peace for the entire world.
