Shura member takes legal oath as Arab Parliament member

Cairo, Jan. 22 (BNA): Shura Council member, Arab Parliament member, Ali Abdulla Al-Aradi, has asserted that His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s directives are the basis for supporting joint Arab action, being among the national fundamentals to which Bahrain’s parliamentary diplomacy is committed, noting that the kingdom’s legislative branch places Arab and Islamic issues among its priorities at regional and global gatherings. While taking the official oath as a member of the Arab Parliament (AP) during a meeting held under the chairmanship of Speaker, Adel bin Abdulrahman Al-Asoom, as part of the third session of AP’s third legislative term, Al-Aradi affirmed the important role played by the AP to serve the common interests of Arab countries and citizens. He highlighted the efforts being made by the Arab Parliament to cooperate with the relevant international parliamentary organisations to serve Arab issues, and counter fallacies and campaigns aimed at subverting Arab security and stability, or directly interfering in Arab countries' domestic affairs. He pledged to do his utmost, as an AP member, to contribute to bringing about more achievements.
