Main streets and public squares across Bahrain have been adorned with images of the GCC leaders and the flags of the member states as part of the kingdom’s preparations to host the 46th GCC Summit today.
The display reflects Bahrain’s pride in the journey of the GCC and its achievements in promoting Gulf co-operation and integration, as well as the kingdom’s warm welcome, from His Majesty King Hamad, the government, and the people, to the leaders of the GCC countries and visiting dignitaries.
Preparations and decorations included illuminating many of Bahrain’s landmarks and buildings of governmental and private institutions with the flags of the GCC states. Banners were placed on main roads carrying welcoming messages and highlighting Bahrain’s support for joint Gulf action and its belief in the importance of GCC co-operation as a reflection of shared goals.
The displays also featured excerpts from the statements of His Majesty, affirming Bahrain’s positions and orientations regarding solidarity and joint Gulf action, including: ‘Gulf solidarity is our goal, and the unity of our peoples is our foundation’, and ‘Together towards a bright future’.
