Spirit of unity

Manama: His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa urged to draw inspiration from the ‘spirit of unity’ entrenched in the National Action Charter (NAC), which led to fulfilling citizens’ aspirations for development, modernisation, freedom, democracy and progress. “Such a spirit should prevail in everything we strive to achieve,” HM the King said while chairing the weekly Cabinet session at Gudaibiya Palace here yesterday.

Prime Minister HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa were also present on the occasion. 

“Through the NAC, on which our Democratic Reforms are based, we have seen much success. We have modernised Bahrain’s government and institutions, while simultaneously confronting all challenges firmly and resolutely,” HM the King remarked. 

Lauding the patriotism shown by citizens and various public and private institutions in celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the NAC, HM King Hamad commented: “Inspired by the spirit of the NAC, the leaders and people rallied together in an epic move to continue building our institutions, laws, and further preserving the rights of all.”

Speaking about Bahrain’s keenness to buttress ties with other nations, HM the King issued directives to launch joint GCC development projects that consolidate GCC action, enhance cooperation among its States, optimise GCC citizens’ gains and meet GCC energy, water and infrastructure needs.

His Majesty the King lauded the tremendous efforts put forth by the government, under the chairmanship of HRH Premier, to enhance development and promote democracy as spelled out in the NAC.
