No: 372, 3 December 2014

We consider the holding of elections in Bahrain for the Council of Representatives and municipalities which constitute the most important basis of political participation in the country as a significant step taken towards national dialogue, reconciliation and reform. We hope that all social and political sides will contribute to this process.

On this occasion, we emphasize once again the importance we attach to the peace, security and stability of brotherly Bahrain and wish that the elections will be auspicious for all Bahraini people.
