National Security Advisor and Royal Guard commander Major-General His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa received yesterday an elite group of Royal Guard servicemen who were assigned to attempt to climb Mount Everest, in the Himalayas, in Nepal.
HH Shaikh Nasser gave them directives and urged them to exert all efforts to honour Bahrain’s flag, under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Supreme Commander, and wished them success in their challenge to reach Earth’s pinnacle.
“I bade farewell today to elite Royal Guard servicemen who will attempt the challenge of climbing Mount Everest and to honour the flags of Bahrain and the Royal Guard,” HH Shaikh Nasser said. “The first phase starts now while the challenge to reach the summit will be next year.”
HH Shaikh Nasser stressed on the Royal Guard’s keenness to train its affiliates so as to assume their assigned duties under all circumstances. The three-phase challenge includes two training stages, before the challenge of reaching Mount Everest’s peak in the third stage, scheduled for 2021.
