Bahrain Lauded as Global Model for Peace and Tolerance
Bahrain's Foreign Minister and Chairman of the National Human Rights Committee, Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, has praised the Kingdom as a pioneering global model in promoting humanitarian values and peaceful coexistence among religions, cultures, and civilizations. Speaking on the occasion of the International Day of Conscience—established by the United Nations on Bahrain's initiative and observed annually on April 5—Dr. Al-Zayani highlighted Bahrain's steadfast commitment to a visionary humanitarian approach inspired by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and supported by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Prime Minister. In his remarks, Dr. Al-Zayani expressed pride in Bahrain's leading role, which is deeply rooted in its rich historical heritage and noble human and civilizational values. He emphasized the nation's tireless efforts in fostering peace, tolerance, and the rejection of fanaticism and hatred, all aimed at building a sustainable world marked by respect, justice, harmony, and solidarity. These initiatives include the promotion of a culture of peace, conflict prevention through dialogue and negotiation, the organization of global forums for interfaith and intercultural dialogue, and the launch of significant awards such as the 'King Hamad Award for Coexistence and Tolerance.' Additional accolades recognize contributions in areas supporting women, youth, education, and humanitarian service. The Kingdom has also embraced the 'Bahrain Summit' for royal initiatives, which calls for an international conference on peace, the provision of essential health and educational services to those affected by conflicts, and cooperation in digital innovation and transformation. Moreover, the United Nations has endorsed the King Hamad Global Center for Coexistence and Tolerance's initiative to designate an 'International Day of Peaceful Coexistence.' Looking ahead, Dr. Al-Zayani reaffirmed Bahrain's commitment to playing an active role on the international stage. As the Kingdom currently chairs the Arab League's Council of Arab Universities and seeks a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2026-2027 term, Bahrain remains dedicated to strengthening global peace and security, fostering tolerance and solidarity, and upholding religious and cultural diversity. These efforts are part of the National Human Rights Plan (2022-2026), which aligns with international charters and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

This came during a phone call on Saturday between the two foreign ministers. During the call, they discussed the escalating situation in the strip, focusing on the ongoing Egyptian-Qatari mediation efforts, a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs read.
