CAIRO, June 3 (MENA) - Egypt has extended its heartfelt congratulations to Bahrain on its election on Tuesday by a large majority of votes at the United Nations General Assembly to hold a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council for a two-year term starting in January 2026.

This reflects full confidence in the Kingdom of Bahrain and its wise policies, Egypt said in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates.

Egypt expressed its full confidence that Bahrain, under the wise leadership and insightful vision of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, will play an effective and constructive role in the Security Council in support of global peace and security, and will serve as an "authentic Arab voice" that is advocating for the causes and shared interests of the Arab world in this important international forum.
