Shura Council took part in 55 international meetings during the third sitting of the sixth legislative term, with members attending a variety of foreign visits and virtual sessions.

These engagements covered subjects ranging from trade and finance to climate policy, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and national security.

Ideas

The Council described the effort as part of its aim to exchange ideas with other parliaments and improve its own legislative practices. Discussions covered topics now common across global assemblies: sustainable growth, gender parity, technological change, and defence.

Bahrain chaired the Asian Parliamentary Assembly and took over leadership of next year’s GCC conference of parliamentary speakers from the United Arab Emirates.

The Council also obtained observer status in the Southeast Asian parliamentary bloc and became a full member of the Mediterranean assembly.
