H.E. Dr. Maryam Al-Dhaen confirmed that the visit of His Royal Highness Prince Edward Duke of Edinburgh is part of the deepening of the established strategic relations that unite the Kingdom of Bahrain and the friendly United Kingdom.

The relationship between the two countries is based on the foundations of joint action. She said that there was a mutual concern to develop Bahraini-British relations in a manner that served common goals and interests and opened wider avenues for cooperation in various fields, particularly the economy.

That would enhance the prestige and competitiveness of the Kingdom of Bahrain and place it on the map of attractive investment destinations. She pointed out that economic relations between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United Kingdom were growing steadily.

Dr. Al-Dhaen expressed confidence in the continued growth of bilateral cooperation between the two sides in various areas, particularly those where the visions of the two countries intersected, in order to achieve the common goals of sustainable development, the settlement of conflicts and the establishment of international peace and security and other humanitarian issues.

On one hand, she noted the importance of exchanging experience and promoting training opportunities between Bahrain and the United Kingdom, particularly in vital sectors such as health, education and other aspects of development.

This would effectively transfer expertise, science, knowledge and culture and maximise the use of such resources, especially since Bahrain national cadres have demonstrated their capacity and competence, as well as the availability of the necessary infrastructure to achieve the required growth. It stressed that Bahraini-British relations would have an impact on security by consolidating joint efforts.
