Congratulations pour in for His Majesty King

Congratulations poured in from all quarters of Bahrain yesterday to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the National Action Charter. The charter put forward in 2001, with 98.4 per cent of the voters voting in favour of the document, represents an advanced step in the course of the modernising the political structure of the state including the systems and institutions, in such a way that meet the aspiration of the progressing of the people of Bahrain towards further civilised progress and rising.

The charter promoted women’s rights and empowerment giving them a chance to be well represented in top positions and professions both nationally and internationally. The latest being the naming of Fawzia Zainal as the first woman Speaker of Bahrain’s parliament in 2018. In a statement hailing the anniversary, the National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR) welcomed HM the King ’s comprehensive reforms and advanced initiatives in human rights.

Congratulating the leadership, Capital Governor Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa affirmed that this is an opportunity to remember the day on which the Bahraini citizens have confirmed their love of the nation and loyalty to His Majesty the King.
