Ukraine's foreign minister calls for deepening dialogue with Bahrain

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has emphasized the importance of deepening the dialogue with Bahrain, as both countries have common views not only on tactical issues but also on strategic ones.

Kuleba said this at a joint press conference with Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani in Kyiv, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

Ukraine's foreign minister that the conversation with his Bahraini counterpart, which concerned President Volodymyr Zelensky's peace formula, food security and rebuilding of Ukraine, was very deep and thorough. According to him, during this sincere exchange of views, it became clear that both countries have common views not only on tactical issues but also on strategic ones.

"That's why we need more such conversations, more such meetings here, in Kyiv, in Ukraine, and in Bahrain, because this is how the future of relations is shaped between our countries and between Ukraine and the region represented by my dear colleague," Kuleba said.

Bahrain's foreign minister, in turn, noted that his visit to Ukraine is a good opportunity to discuss the ways of strengthening and developing friendly relations between the countries, which will serve the interests of the peoples of both countries.

"We discussed bilateral cooperation in the political, economic, and trade spheres. We emphasized the need to continue joint coordination to explore opportunities for expanding cooperation in important areas, as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding between the ministries of foreign affairs," Al Zayani said.
