“Our meeting this year comes under the title, ‘A homeland for all’, which is a slogan that expresses the Kingdom of Bahrain’s embrace of all its people without distinction or discrimination; a homeland that sets the most wonderful example in creating a safe environment in which harmony and affection prevail and a defined fence surrounded by respect and love that guarantees all coexistence and freedom of religion and beliefs,” said Dr Shaikh Abdulla on the occasion.
“We pledge to you that the centre will move forward towards a noble goal and an authentic role of coexistence and understanding,” he added.
