The Bahraini people, which is by nature a loyal one, and has, throughout history, assumed patriotic responsibilities and gone through various events, is, once again, capable of safeguarding the homeland against any present or future threats, His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa said.
“Bahrain is the home country of all, and we have to work for its sake and stand united against those who seek to cause harm to it,” he stressed.
“Therefore, let the will have the people prevail,” he said, calling for the need to join ranks in order to defend the nation against anybody who wants to disrupt its security and stability.
The Prime Minister expressed strong resolve to do all what is necessary in order to achieve national interests.
“We will not allow anybody to distract us from the priorities of the homeland,” stressing that there is no longer a room for the fearful, and expressing determination to go ahead with efforts to implement the recommendations of the National Assembly and promote security and stability nationwide.
He said the government is serious in implementing the recommendations of the National Assembly and enforce the law in order to eradicate terrorism and dry up its sources.
“We will succeed, God willing, with the support of the cohesive Bahraini citizens,” he said.
HRH Premier pointed out that the elimination of terrorism remains the main concern of Bahrain and its people, and, therefore, the representatives of the people responded quickly and submitted their recommendations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa who tasked the government to implement them so as to confront terrorism and enforce the rule of the law.
HRH Premier voiced the stances as he paid a visit this morning to the Central Governorate where he met with Governor Mubarak Al-Fadhel, MPs, dignitaries and scores of citizens.
He congratulated them on Eid Al-Fitr, and stressed the importance of joining ranks and standing united in order to be able to face the challenges facing the nation, and eradicate terrorism.
He said he was visiting the Central Government in order to meet the citizens directly, listen to them and assure them that the government shares their concerns regarding the protection of the homeland and is resolved to take all necessary measures to implement the recommendations and inflict penalties on instigators and terrorists.
“Our shared goal is to achieve the interests of our country, and we exchange views on every national issue, just as Bahraini people have done for ages,” he said.
He affirmed that Bahrain has never been intimidated by interference of foreign countries, and will never allow them to implement their plans in it, calling for the need to defend the kingdom against those seeking to spread chaos and division in it, as is the case in other countries in the region.
HRH Premier asserted that calls to wreak havoc and destroy hard-won national achievements have been turned down by noble and honourable citizens, noting that the Bahraini people, thanks to its high patriotism, is aware that those evil calls are intended to disrupt the kingdom’s security and stability and put its civic peace at risk.
He emphasized that the recommendations did not come out of a vacuum, but emanated from the representatives of the people in the National Assembly, and are a message expressed by the Bahraini citizens, affirming that the government will spare no effort to meet their aspirations through implementing the recommendations in order to eradicate terrorism and promote good and peace across the country.
“We totally reject any interference in our domestic affairs, and inciters have no place among us,” he added, stressing that the government is resolved to confront malicious terrorism with the force of the law.
He pointed out that Bahrain is not isolated from its brotherly GCC countries which provided it with all kinds of support, extending sincere thanks to sisterly Saudi Arabia.
He said that through cooperation, GCC countries are capable of facing any challenges that pose a threat to their peoples’ aspirations for peace and stability.
The Central Governor extended heartfelt thanks, gratitude and appreciation to HRH Premier for his kind visit.
He affirmed that the citizens of the Central Governorate are proud and loyal to HRH Prime Minister, and are partners to their compatriots in safeguarding national achievements, enhancing its development and progress and defending its territorial sovereignty.
He added that history is laden with HRH Premier’s landmark contributions and dedication in service of the homeland and its citizens, as well as bold stances against terrorism and those who seek to tamper with national security, which, he asserted, has been acknowledged by the citizens and international organizations and agencies.
The citizens also expressed their full-fledged support for the measures to be taken by HRH Premier to toughen punishment on terrorists and those who incite them, expressing confidence in his ability to implement the recommendations of the National Assembly and bring the situation in Bahrain back to normal.
