Consensus in Bahraini national dialogue session

The Bahraini National Consensus Dialogue session, held here on Wednesday, have witnessed a consensus among participants in the draft agenda, prepared and approved by the mini-working group of participants, and to be discussed in next Sunday's meeting. The participants in the dialogue agreed to a draft containing points to be discussed among parties next Sunday, Isa Abdulrahman, dialogue spokesperson told reporters following the dialogue session. Some of the points in the draft included mechanisms for running the sessions and the implementation of the outcomes on which consensus was reached, as well as deciding the timetable after approving the final draft of the agenda, noted Abdulrahman. Also, he added that a number of participants suggested discussion on the subject of representation of the leadership in the dialogue, pointing out at the same time that other participants noted that this point had been reached in a previous session, and that the government is a main participant in the dialogue. The Bahraini National Consensus Dialogue kicked off last month with participation by Bahraini political societies and state representatives, which came upon a call by the Bahraini King in January to complete the national dialogue.
