The Kingdom of Bahrain believes that the ideas of Pope Francis, the peace plan of President Volodymyr Zelensky and China's proposals can be used as a basis for negotiations to reach a settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and is ready to play its mediation role in them

Al Zayani, Bahrain's foreign minister, said this during a joint press statement with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"During the talks, we discussed international efforts to end the war, in particular the efforts of His Holiness the Pope, the recent proposals of President Zelensky of Ukraine and the proposals made by the People's Republic of China. We believe that all these efforts deserve attention and can serve as a basis for negotiations to reach a settlement that respects the rights and interests of all parties and restores security and stability in Europe. Bahrain is ready to play a role in this area," said Al Zayani.
