Her Excellency Fatima bint Jaffer Al Sairafi, Minister of Tourism, received the chairman and board members of 'Taa'ayosh'—the Bahrain Association for Tolerance and Coexistence of Religions.
H.E. the minister described the Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, as a unique example of coexistence rooted in cultural heritage and collective national identity.
She praised these efforts, describing them as reflective of Bahrain's character and essential to amplifying the country's image on the global stage.
The delegation presented the minister with a copy of the association's latest bilingual publication, In the Hospitality of the King of Peace, recently released in Arabic and English.
The association shared details of its work with expatriate communities, its presence at national and religious events, and its cooperation with both official and grassroots bodies to promote peaceful coexistence.
