Bahrain’s Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg and Denmark, and Representative to the European Union and NATO, Dr Bahia Jawad Al Jishi, met a number of Bahraini students through video conference in an “Ambassadors of the Nation” session.

Bahrain Institute for Political Development (BIPD) held the virtual session in cooperation with the Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa Academy for Diplomatic Studies. The session was moderated by Ministry of Foreign Affairs Communication Directorate director Dr. Arwa Al Sayed.

Dr. Al Jishi extended her gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for the royal trust he bestowed on her by appointing her Ambassador in 2015.

She paid tribute to His Royal Highness the Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister.

She extended her sincere thanks to the wife of His Majesty the King and Supreme Council for Women president, Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, for the attention she attaches to all areas, including the diplomatic field.

Dr. Al Jishi commended His Majesty the King’s Diplomatic Affairs advisor Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, the Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, and officials at the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

She highlighted her diplomatic and media career, and her role as a Shura Council member. She underlined Bahraini women’s strides, which have earned the Kingdom international praise.

Dr. Al Jishi noted the embassy’s effort to highlight Bahrain’s developments and human rights strides, which helped correct the false image about the Kingdom in the European Parliament, which was based on false information.
