Bahrain renews support to Moroccanness of the Sahara, plans to open a consulate in Dakhla

The Speaker of the Bahraini Council of Representatives, Ahmed Salman Al Musallam, reiterated his country’s support to Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces, as well as to its security and stability and announced his country’s plans to open a consulate in Dakhla after the one set up in Laayoune.

This came during a meeting in Manama Sunday, January 8, with Khalid bin Salman Al Musallam, Ambassador of Bahrain to Morocco, reports the Bahrain News Agency.

The President of the Council of Representatives also highlighted the depth and solidity of the fraternal relations linking the two Kingdoms, emphasizing the common desire to consolidate bilateral cooperation, particularly in the parliamentary and economic fields, and to open up broader prospects to this cooperation.
The distinguished relations and multi-faceted partnership uniting the two brotherly countries have been further strengthened thanks to the efforts of the two countries’ leaders, King Hamad Ben Issa Al Khalifa and King Mohammed VI, said Ahmed Salman Al Musallam.

Bahrain was among the first countries to open consular representations in the Moroccan Sahara, inaugurating a consulate general in Laâyoune in December 2020.
