Bahrain to support maritime security at UN

The Bahraini Foreign Minister confirmed that the Kingdom of Bahrain will continue its role in safeguarding the security of maritime passages and freedom of navigation, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the international legal system. This is part of its efforts to strengthen maritime security and stability. He pointed out that freedom of navigation is non-negotiable, and that threats and hostile actions from Iran and armed groups impact global supply movements, endangering vital pipelines and sea routes. During a speech before the Security Council, he emphasized the need for collective action to confront threats to maritime security, highlighting the importance of cooperation and information exchange to enhance responses before damage occurs. He also stressed that disruptions to these passages do not affect all countries equally, particularly more vulnerable developing economies, warning that superficial solutions do not guarantee the protection of navigation, and that true solutions require addressing the problem fundamentally.
