Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan visited Bahrain on 19 March 2022 as part of a regional visit.

Minister Balakrishnan called on National Security Advisor and Commander of the Royal Guard His Highness Major General Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa. He met Advisor to His Majesty the King for Diplomatic Affairs His Excellency Shaikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Al Khalifa as well as separately met Minister of Foreign Affairs His Excellency Dr Abdullatif Bin Rashid Al Zayani.

During his meetings, Minister Balakrishnan affirmed the warm ties between Singapore and Bahrain. As fellow small states, Singapore and Bahrain share a mutual interest in promoting multilateralism and a rules-based global order. We share a common belief in the principles of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity for all countries, big or small. Minister Balakrishnan and the Bahraini leaders also had a wide-ranging discussion on developments in Asia and the Middle East. Minister Balakrishnan expressed the hope that the Abraham Accords, which were signed by Bahrain in 2020, would contribute positively to regional stability and peace.

Minister Balakrishnan will depart Bahrain this evening and visit the Palestinian Territories tomorrow.
