Such successes further enhance Bahrain’s image globally as it retains its title as the regional financial and business hub. These achievements did not occur by chance, but rather is a cultivation of years of hard work and dedication of the strong Team Bahrain led by HRH Prince Salman who is diligent in promoting Bahrain as a destination for business and investment, and creating the economic infrastructure and climate that supports that vision. HRH Prince Salman has been incubating new businesses and Bahraini talent to help build the kingdom on its journey to sustainable development and prosperity. Benjamin Franklin once said: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. HRH Prince Salman championed education in Bahrain from a young age, and personally supported Bahraini students to reach the highest echelons of academia. Nowhere is this more evident than in HRH the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme (CPISP), established in 1999. The programme promotes outstanding educated young Bahrainis and provides them with a generous support mechanism to achieve their aspirations. HRH Prince Salman recognises that Bahrain’s most valuable asset is its people, and has spared no expense to maximise their potential. Over two decades on, The CPISP has provided (and continues to provide) Bahrain with world-class managers, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs, bankers, and more. In fact, many of its graduates today are in positions of national responsibility such as a minister, government officials, and industry leaders, proving that His Royal Highness knew all along that his faith and confidence in his people and vision for highly educated Bahrainis will undoubtedly come to fruition. That is precisely why Team Bahrain led by HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, will lead Bahrain to a bright and prosperous future. Happy National Day Bahrain!
