THE French Embassy in Bahrain organised a musical evening to mark Europe Day.
French pianist David Bismuth performed works from several renowned European composers.
The European Union delegation to Bahrain, German and Italian ambassadors, and other diplomats attended the celebration.
Europe Day, marked annually by the EU, honours the starting point of the continent’s political and economic integration, and the peace achieved as a result of the decades-long collective effort.
EU Ambassador Patrick Simonnet stressed the Union’s commitment to work with Bahrain as an important partner in all fields.
“As France is currently holding the presidency of the Council of the European Union, I am delighted to celebrate, once again, the Europe Day in Bahrain,” French Ambassador Jérôme Cauchard said.
