King of Bahrain Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa ordered on Tuesday that visa restrictions be imposed on Qataris visiting the kingdom.

The decision was taken in order to preserve the security and safety of Bahrain.

He stressed that Manama has been harmed the most and is still being harmed by Doah’s policies.

The king hailed during a cabinet session Bahrain’s openness towards tourists and visitors.

The Bahrain news agency reported that the monarch ordered the concerned agencies to take the necessary measures to prevent this openness from being exploited to bring harm to the kingdom.

The new restrictions will not affect other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The King of Bahrain stressed that eliminating terrorism will remain the kingdom’s priority and it will remain a beacon of stability and security.

It will firmly stand against any cowardly hostile act, he vowed.

Bahrain joined Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt in imposing a diplomatic boycott against Qatar earlier this year over its destabilizing policies and support and financing of terrorism.

Saudi Arabia emphasized peaceful international cooperation as a means to achieve global prosperity, stability and security, stressing the importance of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the necessity of its full implementation.

Ambassador Abdul Mohsen bin Khothaila, the Permanent Saudi Representative to the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva, participated in the second session of the Preparatory Committee for the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference.

The ambassador called for more effective international efforts to achieve the goals and universality of the NPT, urging non-party states to join the treaty and subject all their nuclear facilities to the comprehensive safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Affirming the right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology under Article 4 of the Treaty, he underlined the importance of adhering to the highest standards of transparency and reliability, calling on all parties to cooperate to promote peaceful use for the benefit of global development and well-being.

He stated that the responsibility for making the Middle East a nuclear-weapon-free zone lies with the international community, especially the sponsors of the 1995 resolution on the Middle East.

Bin Khothaila condemned the recent statements and threats made by a member of the Israeli government regarding the use of nuclear weapons against the Palestinians, describing his words as violations of international law and a threat to global peace and security.

He further called for intensifying cooperation between the parties to the NPT to attain positive results at the next “review conference” in 2026, with the aim of achieving a safe world free of nuclear weapons.
