In a statement to Bahrain News Agency (BNA), she paid tribute to HM King Hamad and President el-Sisi, hailing their keenness on strengthening bilateral relations and expanding economic cooperation amid volatile regional landscape. “President el-Sisi’s visit will represent an opportunity to meet businessmen from both sides and explore Bahrain’s development strides, particularly the Kingdom’s Vision”, she said.
