She highlighted the importance of exchanged visits between the leaderships of the two countries in broadening bilateral cooperation, expressing pride in HM the King’s firm approach based on deepening friendship relations with all countries, as well as in the tremendous efforts exerted by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to build strong and fruitful relations between the kingdom and various countries.
