The United Kingdom welcomed the resumption of the National Consensus Dialogue in Bahrain in which major political parties are taking part.
“We welcome the first meeting of the National Consensus Dialogue that took place on 10th February 2013 in Bahrain and encourage all parties to remain involved in the process. The only way to promote peace and stability in Bahrain is through an inclusive dialogue that addresses the legitimate aspirations of all Bahrainis and helps to build the trust and confidence necessary for longer-term reconciliation,” Commenting today, a Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesperson said.
