 Your Excellency, Sheikh Hassan, Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Colleagues, and Friends. Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu. I would like to thank His Highness Prince Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, for his vision and leadership in initiating this day. The COVID-19 pandemic is reminding us that although we have different languages, traditions, and beliefs, we are one human race. We share the same DNA, but we also share the same hope for a life of peace, harmony, and health. The International Day is a powerful reminder that we are united in our struggle against a common threat. The only way to defeat the pandemic and save lives is by working together as one in a spirit of solidarity. A new coronavirus is taking so much from us, but it's also giving us something special – the opportunity to work together as one. COVID-19 will leave a deep scar for many individuals, families, communities, and nations. But my hope is that its legacy will also be a world that's more connected, more united, and more harmonious. Shukran jazeelan your Highness for this incredible achievement, and shukran jazeelan Bahrain. I thank you.
