From Her Majesty’s Ambassador

I am delighted and honoured to have been asked to represent the United Kingdom in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Our two countries share a long and special history. And we are strong partners in many fields.

From His Majesty, to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister and ministers I have so far had the pleasure of meeting, continuing to build strong business, trade and investment links is a shared priority.

As the Government of Bahrain pushes ahead with its ambitious reform programme, the UK, as a close friend, remains committed to providing assistance to Bahrain, to help ensure effective implementation of the proposed political, economic and social reforms. Economic development and growth remains an important element in helping reforms take root.

I share the Government of Bahrain’s vision for ensuring more UK companies come to Bahrain and that there should be more Bahraini investment in the UK. As we look ahead to celebrating another 200 years of friendship, UK Trade and Investment, the British Chamber of Commerce Bahrain and the EDB, together, can make a real difference in exploiting the opportunities here and in the UK, to develop our relationships still further and drive forwards mutual ambitions, in the interests of our two countries and peoples.

As Ambassador, this is one of my most important objectives. I look forward to working with the British Chamber of Commerce Bahrain and the members, in this exciting challenge.

H. M. Ambassador
