Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu paid tribute to the far-reaching amendments announced lately by His Majesty King Hamad Bin Issa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain, in his address to the Bahraini people, and the new provisions they carried in terms of streamlining relations between the executive and legislative powers, expanding the competencies of the Parliament and consolidating its role as a control body. The Secretary General also welcomed the King’s decision to set up an independent international legal committee to investigate the events witnessed in Bahrain. The Secretary General expressed his hope that these positive and constructive initiatives would contribute to the realization of the country’s reform program and to strengthening its national consensus such as to serve the interests of the Bahraini people and boost the security and stability of this OIC Member State.
