Germany in Bahrain Bahrainthismonth.com 6 October 2023 Bahrain and Germany enjoy a long-standing diplomatic partnership stretching back more than 50 years. As part of our Germany in Bahrain supplement, Bahrain This Month spoke to the German Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain, HE Clemens Hach, about his diplomatic career, his first year in the Kingdom and his plans to bolster ties between the two nations. What are the main accomplishments you have achieved as the German Ambassador to Bahrain in the past year? The first year is always a year of learning, of getting to know people, of listening, of trying to understand the country and the region. So, if I have succeeded in something, it’s to have gained a better understanding of this country and being in a position to better explain to my colleagues in Germany about Bahrain and hopefully correct some of the misperceptions that continue to exist in Europe. Could you tell us about the current state of diplomatic relations between Germany Bahrain? We have excellent relations with a strong bond between our Ministries and our respective Embassies. We have yearly political consultations and a range of high-level visitors from both sides. This year alone, Undersecretary Shaikh Abdulla Al Khalifa took part in the Munich Security Conference, our Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs took part in REPRESENTING GERMANY
