Osama bin Saleh Al Asfoor, chaired a key ministerial meeting of Arab states on the sidelines of the 18th Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, held at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

He emphasized Bahrain's continued efforts to implement policies and legislation that promote full integration and equal opportunities for all. Al Asfoor praised the United Nations' pivotal role in supporting disability and social development agendas, while also commending the strong and fruitful partnership between the UN and Arab states in advancing these causes. The minister called for deeper regional collaboration, greater exchange of successful practices, and intensified joint action to create comprehensive and sustainable solutions for people with disabilities. He underscored the importance of fulfilling international commitments and aligning Arab efforts with global standards. Before concluding, Al Asfoor expressed his gratitude to the General Secretariat of the Arab League—particularly its UN mission and the council's technical secretariat—for organizing the meeting. He lauded the Arab world's ongoing efforts to protect and empower persons with disabilities, noting that such initiatives reflect a shared regional resolve to present a unified voice on the global stage. The meeting also marked a crucial moment of coordination ahead of the Second World Summit on Social Development, scheduled to take place in the State of Qatar this November—an event anticipated to reinforce Arab and international momentum around disability rights and inclusive development.
