I had the honor to meet yesterday His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain, Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, to present my credentials as the United Nations Resident Coordinator in the Kingdom.

I conveyed to his Excellency my aspiration to build on the fruitful partnership between the United Nations and the Kingdom of Bahrain and the remarkable development of joint cooperation frameworks in recent years.

The United Nations in Bahrain will work with national partners from the government sector, the private sector, and civil society, within the Strategic and Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2021-2024 signed with the Government in May 2021, to achieve the sustainable development goals in Bahrain, in line with the Kingdom’s national priorities as defined by the Economic Vision 2030 of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
