“Building on the success of the Council’s previous digital projects launched during the sixth legislative term, the Secretariat-General continues to implement a range of artificial intelligence and digital transformation initiatives to support legislative and oversight work,” he added. The Inter-legislative Union and other parliaments have acknowledged these efforts, which have improved the effectiveness of legislative work and supported Bahrain’s continuous development ambitions.

In collaboration with national institutions, public society, and the media, he also restated the Secretariat’s dedication to enhancing citizen engagement and raising parliamentary awareness.
