Bahrain and Mexico Celebrate 50 Years of Diplomatic Ties Golden Jubilee Marks a Legacy of Friendship and Expanding Cooperation
The Kingdom of Bahrain and the United Mexican States marked a major diplomatic milestone yesterday, celebrating 50 years since the establishment of formal ties in 1975. In a statement commemorating the Golden Jubilee of Bahraini-Mexican relations, Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed pride in the enduring friendship and expanding partnership between the two nations. The Ministry highlighted the mutual respect and cooperation that have characterized the relationship for five decades. 'The Kingdom of Bahrain values the strong and evolving relations it shares with Mexico, founded on mutual understanding and appreciation,' the Ministry said. Over the years, diplomatic ties have been reinforced through regular bilateral meetings and rounds of political consultations between the two countries' foreign ministries. These engagements have strengthened dialogue and facilitated coordination on regional and international matters of shared concern. The Ministry also praised a series of bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding signed across key sectors such as economic cooperation, investment protection, tourism, and cultural exchange. These legal frameworks, it said, have laid a solid foundation for deepening the partnership. Looking ahead, Bahrain expressed its eagerness to build on these achievements, strengthen collaboration, and open new avenues for cooperation with Mexico. The Ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom's commitment to supporting sustainable development, peace, and regional stability in cooperation with its Mexican counterpart. The celebration of the Golden Jubilee serves not only as a tribute to five decades of fruitful relations but also as a springboard for future collaboration between the two friendly nations.

Appeals Court clears Bahraini employee in vehicle seizure case
A six-month prison sentence handed to a Bahraini employee for obstructing enforcement procedures has been overturned by the Second High Appeals Court, which acquitted him and instead imposed a BD500 fine on the company owner involved in the case. The pair had been accused of deliberately preventing the seizure of a company-owned vehicle that was meant to be sold at auction, according to the employee's lawyer, Reem Al Mahari. Prosecutors alleged that the two men concealed one of the company's cars from enforcement officers tasked with executing court rulings against the firm in 2024. The Lower Criminal Court had found them guilty and sentenced each to six months in prison, setting bail at BD100 to suspend the punishment. Both defendants challenged the decision. Evidence In its ruling, the appeals court said the evidence presented against the employee gave rise to doubt. The judges stated that after examining the case file and hearing the arguments, they were not satisfied that the man had taken any steps to hide the vehicle or help someone else to do so. The incident began when a private bailiff moved to carry out seizure orders against a company owned by the Asian co-defendant. Two cars were handed over at the company premises, while the location of a third was shared separately. Vehicles The bailiff managed to secure the two vehicles on site, but the third was missing. The court found no clear link between the Bahraini employee and the missing vehicle. It ruled there was no proof he had concealed it or acted in collusion with the owner. That gap in the prosecution's case led the court to clear him of all charges. Rule The judges referred to the long-standing rule that doubt must be weighed in favour of the accused. They added that the risk of convicting someone without firm grounds would do more harm than letting someone go free. The earlier verdict was overturned, and the employee was acquitted. The company owner, however, remains liable for a BD500 fine.
