President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi received the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani in Kyiv today. This is reported by the Office of the President.

 It is emphasized that this is the first visit of the head of the foreign policy department of Bahrain to Ukraine since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries in July 1992.

 Zelenskyi thanked Bahrain for supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity and humanitarian aid.

 "This is an important signal of cooperation and support between our states... Because our struggle is not only taking place at the front - our people, our society are also on the battlefield. Their work helps our army to de-occupy our territory," Zelenskyi said.

 Zelensky invited Bahrain to join the implementation of certain points of the Ukrainian World Formula and to participate in the future World Summit.

 In addition, he drew the attention of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain to the problem of the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and the search for ways to return them to Ukraine and to their families.
