The Minister of Finance and National Economy, Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, has stressed that Bahrain sets a model for one team spirit work that leads to achievement and excellence, thanks to the His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
In his inaugural speech at the 2nd edition of the Middle East Guidance Forum, held under the theme “Giving Priority to Guidance in a New World”, the minister affirmed Bahrain’s keenness to increase investment in the field supporting the human capital.
The forum combines in-person and virtual attendance to discuss changes in the labour market resulting from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The minister stressed that continuous guidance and training is the guarantor for the transition of knowledge between generations.
He pointed out the directives of HRH Crown Prince and Prime Minister in February 2020 to form the National Medical Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and set up a joint operation room working round the clock even before Bahrain recorded a case of infection.
“This was part of the proactive approach and the wise vision of HRH to manage the coronavirus crisis,” he said.
Shaikh Salman affirmed that the world had drawn lessons from the pandemic, including mainly how societies should put the public interest above the private one.
He noted that countries that prioritized the public interest showed better performance in overcoming the challenge imposed by the pandemic.
The minister asserted that countries that have proven their name in development and progress had accorded human and financial resources equal importance.
He pointed out that all government priorities and programmes in Bahrain follow this principle, including the recently-launched economic recovery plan.
