By ISTANBUL: HE Jamal Mohammed Fakhro, First Deputy Chairman of the Shura Council, met with an Australian parliamentary delegation to discuss a critical emergency proposal submitted by Bahrain and the UAE at the 152nd Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly.
The proposed item aims to formally denounce and reject recent Iranian attacks targeting GCC countries and Jordan. Mr. Fakhro highlighted that the initiative is grounded in Security Council Resolution 2817 and UN Human Rights Council Resolution 38, which collectively saw sponsorship from over 130 nations, reflecting a unified global stance against such aggression.
During the meeting, held in the presence of Shura Council member HE Hala Ramzi Fayez, Mr. Fakhro urged international parliaments to take a responsible stand. He emphasized that legislative bodies must act to protect civilians and vital infrastructure to maintain international peace and security.
The Australian delegation, led by HE Milton Dick, expressed appreciation for Bahrain’s stability efforts and reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation and supporting peace initiatives in the Middle East.
