Summit role stressed

His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa received, at Al Sakhir Palace yesterday, senior participants in the Manama Dialogue, which is organised for the 15th straight

year by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), in co-operation with the Foreign Affairs Ministry. His Majesty highlighted the significance of such summits amidst the world witnessing profound challenges including terrorism, extremism, piracy and poverty. “Despite these challenges, we should remain resolute in our quest for peace. The more our enemies plot to destabilise us, the more closely we collaborate with our friends. From
policing the waters of the Gulf to co- operating on cyber security, we are stronger when we work together. That is the spirit that animates the Manama Dialogue,” His Majesty said. HM King Hamad later hosted
a dinner banquet in honour of the senior participants in the IISS Manama Dialogue.
