Bahrain : The embassy of India has organized a two-hour virtual open house during which Ambassador Piyush Srivastava thanked the Government of Bahrain, Bahraini dignitaries, Heads of Diplomatic Missions and members of Indian community for their participation in 73rd Republic Day celebrations held at the Embassy in a hybrid manner.
With Covid cases coming down significantly in both India and Kingdom of Bahrain, both governments have further eased travel restrictions, he said.
Fully vaccinated people can now travel both ways without the requirement of PCR test or a quarantine.
Ambassador Srivastava, however, cautioned members of the Indian community to continue taking necessary precautions as per the local Covid protocols.
The diplomat recalled the productive telephonic conversation between HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi during which they reviewed various areas of our bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation.
The ambassador also briefed community members about significant bilateral level official meetings that took place during the month to further strengthen collaboration between the two countries in renewable energy and health sectors.
These initiatives are in line with Government of India’s constant efforts to increase trade and economic cooperation with Bahrain and other GCC countries.
Srivastava also briefed the community members about key features of India’s Union Budget 2022-23 and signing of Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with UAE.
He thanked the community associations, volunteers as well as Indian and Bahraini businessmen for their constant support of the welfare of Indian labourers and workers.
