During a celebration held under his patronage in Awali today, HRH the Premier stressed perpetual growth in Bahrain in the prosperous era of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

He underlined the government's resolve to fast-paced development by supporting giant ventures aimed at serving the industrial sector and backing growth.

HRH the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened to a briefing by the Oil Minister on the project, its importance, the implementation phases and its expected economic and developmental impact.

HRH the Premier lauded the project, pointing out that the oil sector is at the threshold of a new phase ushering in a promising future. He underlined the major development projects in the sector which will have a great impact in backing the national strategies to achieve sustainable economic growth. He further underscored the government's keenness to boost investments in the oil and gas sector and use their revenues in fast-tracking development and catering for citizens' needs.

HRH the Premier and HRH the Crown Prince toured the photo gallery which documents the historical phases of Bapco and its modernisation process. They praised contributions of the national competencies in the oil and gas sector and their pioneering achievements which placed Bahrain among advanced countries in terms of coping with global development and the latest technologies in oil exploration and drilling.

They pointed out the efforts made to enhance production and boost the competence and competitiveness of the oil sector. They said Bahrain, which is considered the first country in the region where oil was discovered, is ushering, by laying the foundation stone of the major project, into a new phase in modern oil industries, a scene that reflects the capability of the Bahraini people to achieve in all fields.
