Roberto Velasco boasts before the UN about international cooperation on security and the drop in intentional homicides in Mexico

Bahrain's Foreign Minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, addressed the United Nations on Friday to denounce a severe regional security crisis. He stated that the nations of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (CCG) and Jordan are experiencing a level of instability not seen in decades.

This unprecedented security escalation has been directly attributed by Bahrain to recent attacks carried out by Houthi forces. The ministerial address brings international attention to the widening regional impacts of the ongoing conflict.
