He indicated that the implementation of the project reflects the spirit of complementarity and cooperation between the two brotherly countries, adding that the new airport will contribute to the development march not only in Bahrain, but also across the Arabian Gulf region.

The envoy also congratulated the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, and Board of Directors Chairman of the Bahrain Airport Company, Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, on the inauguration of the state-of-the-art terminal.
