New York, Sept. 1 (BNA): Speaker Ahmed bin Ibrahim Al Mulla reiterated the Kingdom of Bahrain’s absolute rejection of external meddling as rejected by all applicable international conventions under any pretext or reasoning whatsoever.

He said Bahrain has been targeted by foreign meddling aimed to jeopardize its national sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as undermine its democratic march, development, security and stability.

Al Mulla said the maintaining of Bahrain’s security, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents should be above all other considerations and as everybody knows the maintaining of security and peace is the core to achieve economic development and growth, hence the people’s welfare and prosperity.

The speaker headed the Bahraini parliamentary delegation to the Fourth World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments meeting in the United Nations headquarter. In his speech before the speakers of world parliaments, Al Mulla said Bahrain affirms the importance of mustering collective international efforts to confront global terrorism to ensure world peace, security and development. He said terrorism does not respect any religions or geographic boundaries.

He cited Bahrain’s measures and regulations to protect the society from this plague of terrorism in addition to the Kingdom’s participation in the international alliance against “Daesh” terroristic group and the Kingdom’s participation in the Saudi-led Arab coalition supporting Yemen’s legitimate government to restore security and stability in that Arab country.
