Bahrain hopes to continue coordination with Russia to strengthen regional and international security, Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani said on Thursday.
"We highly value the coordination that exists between our countries on international platforms, primarily in the [UN] Security Council. We look forward to continued consultations and joint work, including within the framework of our meeting today. This will also serve to strengthen regional and international security," Al Zayani said during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The Bahraini minister also noted that Bahrain knows Russia pays great attention to ensuring the safety of international shipping and believes that a solution to the crisis can be found through political and diplomatic means.
"We are, of course, committed to the principle of freedom of navigation both in your region and globally," Lavrov said in response.
Lavrov and his Bahraini counterpart held a meeting in Moscow. The last time the two ministers met was in September 2025 in the Russian city of Sochi on the sidelines of the eighth ministerial meeting of the Russia – Gulf Cooperation Council Strategic Dialogue.
