Tawfiq Al -Sibai
On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the Kingdom of Bahrain was on a date with a new historic moment, a moment that was registered not only with ink; Rather, the vote of 186 countries, with a rate of 99.5%, during the voting session held by the United Nations General Assembly in New York; To say to the world: “We are confident .. We are partners in the global peace industry.” The Kingdom of Bahrain won the membership of the Security Council for the period 2026-2027 was not a passing news; Rather, it is the fruit of years of continuous work, the tolerant approach, and the balanced messages carried by the Kingdom’s diplomacy to every forum and international platform. Bahrain was never a marginal country in the files of the world; Rather, it was and still has positions, principles, and principles at a time when many voices are hesitant, and the language of interests is transcended. With wisdom, dialogue and teamwork, and that development is only straight on the basis of coexistence and justice. With the support of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Prime Minister, may God protect him; This vision was translated in the field in every development path, a political position, and an external movement that balances the national constants and the noble ends. Yes, it is not the first time in which Bahrain enters the Security Council; But it comes in a very complicated global circumstance, as crises intersect and challenges accelerate. Here is exactly the importance of Bahrain as a voice that the world respects, as a reliable partner to launch peace initiatives, and as a state with an ethical and diplomatic balance based on tolerance and moderation, and contributes to facing humanitarian challenges that concern everyone: from the Palestinian issue to cybersecurity, and from human rights to environmental, water and famine issues. Security is loaded with a history of creative initiatives, including the Bahrain Declaration to support tolerance and coexistence that was welcomed and widely praised, and the establishment of the King Hamad International Center for Coexistence and Tolerance as the first institution of its kind seeking to spread the culture of dialogue between peoples and enhance the values of tolerance, and organize the “Manama Dialogue” forum annually to discuss regional security issues, and hosting the Bahrain Forum for the participation Various religions and sects, their continuous calls for an international peace conference in the Middle East, and their fixed positions in defending fair issues, and enhancing the role of women and youth in international work, as well as their continuous support for humanitarian, health and educational initiatives around the world. It is sufficient that this achievement has been achieved with pure national efforts, led by the Bahrain Diplomatic team headed by His Excellency Dr. Abdul Latif bin Rashid Al -Zayani, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and with the direct support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prime Minister, so that the result is an honorable picture of a kingdom that knew how its international presence turned from attendance to influence. The beautiful at this moment is that it coincides with a great spiritual occasion, Eid Al -Adha. As if Bahrain’s destiny is to rejoice far: a feast that prevails in Muslims, and another brings it to the ranks of the state makers in the world. All heart congratulations we raise to His Majesty the King, may God bless him, and the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, may God protect him, and the generous Bahraini people, with this brilliant diplomatic victory, and by the blessed Eid Al -Adha, asking God to return it to our dear homeland and the Arab and Islamic nations of security, goodness and blessing. This is how Bahrain grows; Not with the hustle and bustle of politics, but with the wisdom of its leadership. Not with slogans, but with deeds, nor with transit alliances, but with fixed situations … Thus, new chapters of the story of a small homeland are written in its size; But he knows well how he is great in his influence.
