The Kingdom's support for Bahrain: The Crown Prince affirms full solidarity
His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, made a telephone call to his brother, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, during which His Highness affirmed the Kingdom’s support for Bahrain and its complete solidarity with Manama in the face of any threats to its security and stability, expressing Riyadh’s strong condemnation of the brutal Iranian attacks that targeted the brotherly Bahraini lands.
Dimensions of the Kingdom's support for Bahrain in facing security challenges
This phone call underscores the deep-rooted historical and fraternal ties between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the sisterly Kingdom of Bahrain. Saudi-Bahraini relations have long been a model of joint coordination and strategic cooperation across all levels, particularly in security and military affairs. Riyadh considers Manama's security an integral part of its own national security, a fact historically demonstrated by the Kingdom's numerous stances as a shield protecting the stability of Bahrain and the Gulf region as a whole against foreign interference and schemes aimed at destabilizing the region.
The impact of the Saudi position on regional and international stability
This firm stance by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman carries significant political and security implications at both the regional and international levels. Locally and regionally, this solidarity sends a clear and strong message to any external parties attempting to undermine the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states: the Gulf states stand united against common threats. Internationally, the stability of the Arabian Gulf region and its vital waterways is a cornerstone of the global economy and international energy supplies. Therefore, Saudi Arabia's supportive position towards Bahrain directly contributes to strengthening international peace and security and protecting global shipping lanes and trade from any attacks that could negatively impact the global economy.
A shared vision for a safe and stable future
The wise leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues its pioneering role in leading diplomatic and security efforts to ensure the stability of the Arab region. The ongoing coordination between Riyadh and Manama reflects the two countries' shared vision for building a future of security and prosperity, free from conflicts and illegitimate regional interference. This telephone call reaffirms that the strategic partnership between the two brotherly nations will remain a bulwark against all attempts to undermine the security and stability of the Gulf, while emphasizing Bahrain's full right to take all necessary measures to defend its territorial integrity and protect its citizens.
