Bahrain’s Ambassador to the UAE Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa attended remotely the historic moments of launching the Hope Probe on its Mars mission. The ambassador had received a special invitation from Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre.

Shaikh Khalid extended his congratulations to UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and UAE Armed Forces Deputy Supreme Commander Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on the landmark achievement.

The ambassador said that the Hope Probe, the first of its kind in the Arab world, is a new achievement in the UAE’s pioneering record and an indication of its progress in all areas. He also noted that the launch coincides with the world’s gradual exit from the restrictions of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which gives new hope that nothing can stand in the way of moving forward and achieving new outstanding scientific accomplishments.
