“Since joining the United Nations, the Kingdom of Bahrain works tirelessly to support the noble principles and objectives of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace and security and the development of friendly relations between nations on the basis of mutual respect. I am therefore honoured, in harmony with these principles, to represent here a country responsive to its international responsibilities while laying down the foundations of a modern state through initiatives, plans as well as political and organizational visions aimed at constructing a modern society, organized and committed to its values in the various areas, notably education, health, vocational training, economic reform and advancement of women.“

“The Kingdom of Bahrain is among the first to have achieved the MDG's even before the prescribed time frame in fields such as free basic education, empowerment of women, expansion of social security to venerable groups, equal opportunities for men and women and the enhancement of health services, notably for children.”
