The Cabinet highlighted HM the King’s address which coincided with Bahrain’s National Day celebrations, in commemoration of the modern Bahraini State during the era of its founder, Ahmed Al Fateh, in 1783, as an Arab and Muslim country, and the anniversary of Bahrain joining the United Nations as a full-fledged member, as well as the Anniversary of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the Throne.

It noted that the speech serves as a foundation for the government’s efforts in achieving His Majesty’s far-reaching vision and aspirations that benefit the Kingdom and its citizens. On the occasion of the upcoming new year, the Cabinet wished that 2023 would be a year of prosperity and development for Bahrain and its people, and that peace and security would prevail in the world.

Following a review of the memorandum by the Minister of Cabinet Affairs, the Cabinet followed up on the implementation of development projects and initiatives related to raising the quality and efficiency of government services, that have been approved by the Cabinet earlier this year.
