MP Hassan Ibrahim Hassan has been picked to represent the Arab Group on the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s Young Parliamentarians’ Bureau.

His appointment was confirmed by the Union’s Governing Council after Arab members backed his nomination during the 150th General Assembly in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Speaking after the decision, the MP said it showed how Bahrain’s parliamentary work and its younger voices are being heard abroad.

He credited the backing of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, who he called the strongest supporter of young Bahrainis.

He also thanked His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for his steady support.
