ShareMANAMA: Kuwaiti Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain, Sheikh Thamer Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah said on Monday that the upcoming visit of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to Bahrain would further strengthen the historical ties between the two nations. Sheikh Thamer told KUNA that His Highness the Amir’s visit would be within the framework of enhancing cooperation and coordination in all fields, which serves the interests of both countries.
He noted that the relations were deep-rooted and harmonious as they go back generations and exceed all political and diplomatic rhetoric. Sheikh Thamer said that the visit of His Highness the Amir to the Kingdom of Bahrain and the expected meeting with King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa would surely add to another milestone in the Kuwaiti-Bahraini ties.
His Highness the Amir will hold talks with Bahrain’s King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa to boost ties between both countries. Kuwaiti-Bahraini relations have always been described as strong, as the two ruling families are linked together, which is a reflection of the strong relationship between their people. The history between both countries goes back and is known for the agreement and visions of their political leadership regarding their firm stance on regional and international issues based on a rational approach and the principle of dialogue.
The official visits aim to enhance bilateral relations in various fields of common interest, including trade, economy, cybersecurity, and others, noting that the most recent visit was when the Bahraini King offered his condolences on the passing of the late Amir. Bahrain’s honorable stand was evident during the Iraqi invasion in 1991, when their leadership and people stood with the Kuwaiti right by welcoming their citizens and providing them with all necessities, as well as contributing to the liberation of Kuwait.
In recent years, the two countries witnessed important events, including the signing of eight cooperation documents in April 2019, in fields of electronic commerce, customs affairs, exchange of information and news, environmental protection, culture, arts, agriculture, marine resources, and the development of trade relations. Kuwait and Bahrain also signed agreements in the field of education to enhance cooperation, enhance expertise, and benefit from experiences, while their universities attract students majoring in different fields from both countries. — KUNA
