His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has affirmed the need to further develop the financial and economic support programmes for citizens.
“We have previously noted the importance of financial and economic support programmes for citizens, given their great role in reducing economic burdens of various reasons,” said HM the King as he inaugurated yesterday the first session of the sixth Legislative Term of the Shura and Representatives councils.
“In this regard, we underline the need for such programmes to be further developed to raise their effectiveness in directing support to those who need it, so as to meet the basic requirements of citizens and provide them with their full right to a dignified life.”
His Majesty delivered a keynote speech at the Isa Cultural Centre, in the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. HM the King commended HRH Prince Salman for his “efforts, efficiency and competence” to manage the work of the esteemed government at a time of global challenges requiring intensive work to increase the flexibility and speed of responses to every national requirement.
HM King Hamad emphasised that everybody in the government should increase the efficiency of administrative processes, develop national expertise and diversify job opportunities. He directed the continuation of governmental efforts to implement the Economic Recovery Plans and Fiscal Balance Programmes.
His Majesty highlighted the results of the partnership with the private sector on diversifying the national economy and from investments on economic growth, as well as training and educational programmes adopted by the government.
All these are aimed at increasing productivity and channelling all these results and positive returns onto living standards of the Bahraini family. HM the King noted the recent successes of the oil and gas sector, embodied by new discoveries of natural gas, which is a promising achievement, and is consistent with the sector’s role in managing and investing natural resources and raising the general level of national prosperity.
He commended the performance of Bahraini women and their influential and conspicuous contributions to the national renaissance, as well as the honourable achievements of the youth sector and their level of progress in public life.
Among the most prominent illustrations of these are the recent government appointments, in addition to their distinction in many fields for which we congratulate them, and we direct further qualitative initiatives that raise the capacity of national contributions.
