His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali Al Khalifa, the Southern Governor, commended the significant efforts of Bahraini women across all sectors, emphasising that the recognition reflects appreciation for their vital role in achieving the Kingdom’s aspirations under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the support of the Government under His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister. He highlighted that Bahraini women have contributed to many developmental achievements and are active partners in building a future for the Kingdom.
