Speaker of the Council of Representatives, Ahmed bin Ibrahim Al-Mulla, has extended sincere thanks and gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for issuing a royal order to mark the Commemoration Day on December 17, to coincide with the kingdom’s celebrations of the National and Accession Days.

He said that the Commemoration Day is an opportunity to pay tribute to the people of “sacrifice”.

The leadership and people of Bahrain will not forget the sacrifices of its brave servicemen who fell in the line of duty while defending the security and stability of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and safeguarding the dignity and rights of the Arab Nation against foreign interference and terrorist acts, he added.

The speaker renewed the Council of Representatives’ support for the Bahrain Defence Force, led by Commander-in-Chief Field Marshal Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, the security establishment, led by Interior Minister, Lieutenant-General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla AL Khalifa, the National Guard, led by its Commander Lieutenant-General Shaikh Mohammed bin Isa Al Khalifa, and all the affiliates of the military and security establishments in the kingdom.
