The Kingdom of Bahrain is blessed with a promising leader like HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Crown Prince and First Deputy Premier
Jean Chretien, who is also Co Chairman of The InterAction Council (IAC), at conclusion of the first three-day Plenary Meeting in Manama, told media that every country is bound to face challenges and what makes the differences in the leadership and Bahrain is in safe hands.
“There is a general perception that a country like Canada has no problems but we have many challenges and problems to deal with and similarly Bahrain being a developing democracy is going through tough times but the commitment of HRH Prince Salman will help to address the issues,” Chretien said.
At the end of the 31st Plenary Meeting praised the quality of the second level of Bahrain’s leadership. “We thank the leadership of the country for this avenue to host the 31st plenary session,” said the former Prime Minister of Canada and Co-chair of the IAC, Jean Chretien. The meeting was held under the patronage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and First Deputy Prime Minister, Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who we found was very knowledgeable on the issues both in the country and in the region.”
Former President of the Republic of Cyprus, George Vassilious said that in the Crown Prince, the nation had a leader who understood the core issues of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
“HRH Prince Salman understands issues and also helping in sorting them out with home-based solutions,” he added.
Former Prime Minister of St Vincent and Grenadines, James Fitz-Allen Mitchell, said many nations wait with bated breath to see the next level of leadership. “However, in the Crown Prince, Bahrain has a well educated, knowledgeable leader who is aware of the problems faced by the region and the nation. The information and knowledge he has of the region and the Nation will help him find solutions needed to lead the country forward,” he added.
“The issues of Bahrain, as we understand from the Crown Prince, are not isolated. Every growing multi-cultural society of the world goes through these growing pains. Canada, which is among the developed nations today, had its own issues and I would be wrong in saying it’s been a rosy walk,” said Chretien. The sectarian divide can be overcome with frank, honest and open dialogue,” he added. During the three days of the plenary meeting, the IAC discussion has laid out many paths and it is entirely upon the leadership of Bahrain to choose the track it considers comfortable and viable.
