New York (HOL) — Bahrain’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Abdullatif
bin Rashid Al Zayani, met Tuesday with Somali Foreign Minister Abdisalam Abdi
Ali on the sidelines of the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly,
officials said.
The meeting, held at Bahrain’s Permanent Mission to the
United Nations, focused on strengthening bilateral ties and exploring new areas
of cooperation between the two countries. The ministers also exchanged views on
regional developments and issues of mutual concern.
Al Zayani congratulated Abdisalam on his recent appointment,
reaffirming Bahrain’s commitment to advancing cooperation in ways that serve
the shared interests of both nations. He noted Bahrain’s intention to deepen
joint coordination with Somalia, particularly as both countries hold
nonpermanent seats on the U.N. Security Council.
The Bahraini minister wished his Somali counterpart success
in his diplomatic duties and emphasized the importance of enhancing cooperation
across political, economic and security fields.
The talks were attended by Ambassador Jamal Faris Al Ruwaie,
Bahrain’s permanent representative to the U.N., and Ambassador Shaikh Abdullah
bin Ali Al Khalifa, director general of bilateral relations at the Foreign
Ministry.
