Nation marching ahead

His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa has asserted that every phase in Bahrain’s national march is laden with achievements and gains, adding that thanks to the determination and resolve of the leadership and the people, the future is promising and landmark achievements lie ahead.

HRH the Prime Minister stressed that cooperation has always characterised the government’s relations with the Legislative Branch, noting that the Executive-Legislature partnership will certainly deepen with the new Council of Representatives as its members enjoy the confidence of the government and the citizens who elected them to be their representatives in the “House of the People” and by an unprecedented popular participation. HRH Premier called for the need to always be united, and to avoid division through removing its causes, including the misuse of social media networks.

The Prime Minister made the statements while receiving, at the Gudaibiya Palace yesterday, senior officials, intellectuals, cultural figures, journalist, media personnel and scores of citizens, with whom he reviewed local and international issues. HRH the Premier praised the democratic atmosphere in which the first round of the parliamentary and municipal elections took place, hailing the Bahraini people’s great keenness to vote, which, he said, reflects the extent of the Bahraini citizens’ awareness and loyalty to the homeland.

“I would like to say thank you to the people of Bahrain from the bottom of my heart for their stances and support for their country under all circumstances. Indeed, Bahrainis have always done the same, and we hope that every new phase is better than the previous one. We hope that the next phase will be richer, brighter and safer for Bahrain and its people,” he said.
