Shura Council Chairman Ali Saleh Al Saleh has lauded the strong relations and close cooperation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and South Korea.

Al Saleh, speaking during a round of talks with Korea’s National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seug currently on an official visit to the kingdom, said the Shura was interested in enhancing the bonds between the two countries, including exchanging legislative expertise between their two parliaments.

He briefed Speaker Park on Bahrain’s progress and comprehensive development across all areas during the era of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and on the significance of the National Action Charter initiated by HM the King and supported overwhelmingly by Bahrainis in a popular referendum.

The Kingdom yesterday celebrated the Charter’s 20th anniversary. Al Saleh hailed the South Korean Speaker’s visit, saying that it reflected the depth of relations between the two countries for over 45 years and stressed Bahrain’s keenness on intensifying exchanges and visits between them.

He referred to the visit by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to South Korea and the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding in various areas.
