President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan have, thanks to their wisdom and statesmanship, strengthened those ties, in line with their peoples' desire to enhance common achievements.
The Deputy Premier of Bahrain lauded the U.A.E.'s unlimited support to the Kingdom within the GCC Development Fund aiming to upgrade the infrastructure in a way that reflects positively on the Bahraini citizens' daily life.
Sheikh Khalid commended the tremendous efforts exerted by Ambassador Al-Suwaidi to bolster joint cooperation, wishing him every success in his future diplomatic assignments.
The U.A.E. envoy expressed sincere appreciation and gratitude to the kingdom for the constant support accorded to him during his tenure, wishing Bahrain and its leadership and people further security, stability and progress in all fields.
