The Ambassador of Israel to Bahrain, Etan Na’eh, hailed the advanced position enjoyed by Bahrain when it comes to artistic and creative works.
Expressing admiration of the paintings and other works at the Rashid Bin Khalifa Art Foundation, the Israeli envoy said this reflects the interest shown by the Kingdom in the arts sector.
The comments came as Na’eh took a tour of the Foundation with Chairman of the National Council for Arts, Shaikh Rashid bin Khalifa bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
The National Council for Arts Chairman emphasised the importance of art in promoting inter-cultural dialogue and positive values among people.
He said the Council is acting as an incubator for artistic activities by adopting qualitative initiatives and programmes.
Bahrain, Shaikh Rashid said, is witnessing an artistic movement, thanks to the support of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
