President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, is continuing his official visit to Bahrain with an address to the business forum organised by the Cyprus and Bahrain Chambers of Commerce, and inaugurating the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Manama
In a meeting on Sunday with the King of Bahrain at the Royal Palace in Manama, and speaking during the expanded talks between the delegations of the two countries, the President of the Republic said that his visit is both symbolic and substantial, “a clear reflection of our shared determination to further strengthen the Cyprus-Bahrain relationship at all levels – political, strategic, and economic.”
King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa of Bahrain, a country that is a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the years 2026-2027, welcomed President Christodoulides and referred to the long-standing and excellent relations between the two countries. These close relations, he stressed, are based on mutual understanding and mutual respect, shared values and constructive cooperation.
Subsequently, an agreement was signed on the mutual recognition of higher education qualifications, as well as memoranda of understanding in the fields of military cooperation, diplomacy (Diplomatic Academies), education in search and rescue, culture, antiquities and handicrafts, as well as cooperation in the field of Tourism, while an agreement on cooperation between CCCI and the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce was also signed.
Later on, the President, accompanied by the members of the Cyprus delegation, visited the building of the Investment Fund, where he was received by the Deputy Prime Minister of the country. He then met with executives and members of the Fund, in the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance of Bahrain.
