His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Deputy King and Crown Prince, chaired the regular weekly meeting of the Bahrain Cabinet, held today at Gudaibiya Palace.

The session addressed a range of political and legislative matters, alongside reviewing memoranda and official reports submitted to the Council.

At the outset, the Cabinet commended the address delivered by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa during his participation in the inaugural meeting of the Peace Council, held at the invitation of US President Donald Trump.

The Council emphasized that the speech reaffirmed Bahrain’s longstanding commitment to supporting peaceful conflict resolution and strengthening relations among nations, religions, and peoples through dialogue, mutual respect, and coexistence, contributing to a comprehensive framework for genuine peace in the region.

The Cabinet also praised the outcomes of the fraternal visit undertaken by the Crown Prince and Prime Minister to the State of Qatar, where he met with His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The Council expressed appreciation for the warm reception and hospitality extended to His Royal Highness and the accompanying delegation during visits to fellow Gulf Cooperation Council states, underscoring the importance of strengthening regional ties.

On regional matters, the Cabinet congratulated the State of Kuwait—its leadership, government, and people—on the anniversary of its National Day and Liberation Day, commending its achievements across various sectors.

It further affirmed Kuwait’s full sovereignty over its maritime areas and submerged features, firmly rejecting any claims by other parties, and urged the Republic of Iraq to uphold international law principles and the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982), as well as bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding between the two countries.

Legislatively, the Cabinet approved a draft law amending certain provisions of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Law, a draft amendment to the Consumer Protection Law, and endorsed the government’s responses to several parliamentary proposals.

The Council also reviewed reports on Bahrain’s participation in the opening session of the 62nd Munich Security Conference, the outcomes of the sixth session of the Bahrain-Morocco Joint Ministerial Committee, and updates regarding the implementation of Cabinet decisions.
