Oil and Environment Minister, HE Dr. Mohammed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, has affirmed Bahrain’s distinguished status as a regional and global leader in the exhibitions and conferences industry, thanks to its qualified and experienced competencies, as well as advanced infrastructure.

Dr. Bin Daina, who is also Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, highlighted the major role played by the Middle East Corrosion Conference and Exhibition (MECC) since its inception in 1979 in achieving its desired goals, including the provision and exchange of information for those interested in working in all areas of prevention, in addition to access to the latest studies and techniques in this vital field.

The minister made the statements while receiving Dr. Raida Al Alawi, President of the Bahrain Society of Engineers (BSE), along with members of the orgainising committee of MECC 2023, set to take place in Bahrain on November 13-16.

Held at the Gulf International Exhibition Centre, Gulf Hotel, the 18th MECC is co-organised by the Bahrain Society of Engineers and the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) Dhahran Saudi Arabia Chapter, in cooperation with the Ministry of Oil and Environment.

The minister lauded the ongoing cooperation and coordination with the Bahrain Society of Engineers and sponsor companies, such as Saudi Aramco, in preparing and organising oil-related conferences hosted by the kingdom, wishing MECC 2023 every success.

Dr. Raida Al Alawi expressed thanks and appreciation to Dr. Bin Daina for his constant support for BSE’s activities and events, highlighting the role played by the Bahrain Society of Engineers over the past five decades in organising many specialised conferences and exhibitions, including the MECC in 1979, which was among the first specialised conferences in the kingdom.
