Foreign Ministry Undersecretary for regional affairs and the GCC Hamad Ahmed Al-Amer led Bahrain’s delegation to the meeting of the Arab Peace Initiative Committee.
He pointed out the crucial importance of the meeting to define Arab diplomatic steps regarding the Palestinian statehood bid to seek full UN membership.
He cited the keynote address of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa before the UN General Assembly last September, urging the international community to recognize the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
