Solid Egypt relations stressed

Egyptian Ambassador to Bahrain, Yasser Shaaban, has stressed that the specific nature of the Bahraini-Egyptian relations stems from the existing mutual trust, love and respect between the two brotherly countries, as reflected in their supportive stances towards each other, and proved by the exchanged high-profile official visits aimed at achieving their common interests and enhancing joint Arab and regional action.

He affirmed that the fraternal Bahraini-Egyptian relations are solid in all fields, especially the economic, political, military, cultural, media, sports and educational ones, pledging to develop bilateral cooperation throughout his tenure.

In an interview with the Bahrain News Agency (BNA), the first of its kind since submitting his credentials to HIs Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the ambassador hailed the progress boom witnessed by Bahrain across various sectors thanks to the wise policies of HM the King and the dedicated efforts of Bahrainis, which, he said, places the kingdom among the most advanced Arab and regional countries.

He stressed that the economic, investment and trade cooperation is the pillar of the highly successful relations between two brotherly countries, noting that the volume of bilateral trade has reached about $300 million over the past years.

The envoy lauded the quantum leaps made by Bahrain in the fields of education, health and infrastructure thanks to the great interest of the government in these sectors as they are essential for achieving sustainability and moving to the age of technology, the information revolution and digital transformation.
