The Iranian strikes in Manama were unjustified and unacceptable, I told HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain.
I expressed my full solidarity with the people of Bahrain.
The country has been a consistent voice of wisdom, driving engagement and dialogue.
We stand at Bahrain’s side in pursuing a diplomatic solution for lasting stability and peace in the region.
The security of the Gulf is closely interlinked with our own. This is in Europe’s strategic interest as well.
