Solid Bahraini-UAE relations stressed

UAE Ambassador to Bahrain, Shaikh Sultan bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has extended deepest congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa marking Bahrain’s celebrations of its national days, in commemoration of the establishment of the Bahraini state as an Arab and Muslim country by its founder, Ahmed Al Fateh, in 1783, the anniversary of its accession to the United Nations as a full member and the anniversary of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s Accession to the Throne.  

In a statement to the Bahrain News Agency (BNA) on the occasion, the ambassador said that during HM King Hamad’s era, the Kingdom is witnessing more progress, and that its effective international presence has become remarkable and widely commended thanks to its firm and decisive supportive stances toward the Right and Good, citing Bahrain’s hosting of mega international events, ranking among the leading countries in economic fields and success in attaining sports victories as a result of HM the King’s wisdom, vision and leadership.

Commenting on the Kingdom’s celebrations of its national days and the UAE’s 48th National Day, Shaikh Sultan Al Nahyan lauded the deep-rooted distinguished brotherly bilateral relations, whose foundations were laid down by the late HH Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and HH Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, noting that the Bahraini-UAE relations have been strengthened further thanks to the directives of the UAE President, Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and HM King Hamad.

The ambassador highlighted the efforts exerted over the past months to enhance bilateral relations, citing the exchanged visits of officials and the events hosted by the two countries thanks to their prestigious reputation. In this regard, the envoy expressed delight over the opening of the “Nuzul Al Salam” in Muharraq in October as one of the fruits of the agreements signed between the two countries last year, noting that the project was launched within the celebrations of the centenary of the late Shaikh Zayed, the UAE’s Founding Father.

He pointed out that the renovation of the “Fathallah House”  (renamed as “Nuzul Al Salam”) is a joint project between the UAE and Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Centre for Culture and Research in Bahrain, as part of wider collaborative efforts between the cultural authorities of the two nations.
