As the summer heat begins to really take hold and the Kingdom transitions into June, Bahrain This Month extends a heartfelt greeting to our readers. Following the successful conclusion of the historical 33rd Arab Summit hosted in Bahrain for the very first time, we reflect on the remarkable insights and collaborations fostered during this prestigious event. I was incredibly honoured to receive accreditation to the media centre and in this issue, I share my thoughts on its significance and its impact on the region's future. This month, we celebrate Father's Day by highlighting the profound impact fathers have on our lives. We take this opportune moment to reflect on the role of fatherhood in shaping individuals and families, offering a touching tribute to all the dads out there. Diplomacy once again takes centre stage as we commemorate 50 years of diplomatic relations between Bahrain and Bangladesh. Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of Bangladesh, Mr. A.K.M. Mohiuddin Kayes, sat down with BTM to discuss the steadfast bonds and cooperation that have defined the past five decades, and what lies ahead for our two nations. We also spotlight Brent Cataneo-Amad, a young Filipino piano virtuoso who is set to dazzle audiences at the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York with his extraordinary talent. Brent’s journey is an inspiring tale of passion and dedication, and one we are delighted to share with our readers. In hospitality, we feature Thibault de Vries, who shares insights into his illustrious career and the exciting developments at the Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain. Similarly, Farah Baig spoke with Branimir ‘Bane’ Radosavljevic, General Manager of SUSHISAMBA Bahrain, to learn more about the buzz surrounding this innovative dining destination at the Conrad Bahrain Financial Harbour. We also discovered Salman Hubail’s inspiring journey from a security officer to the esteemed Director of Safety and Security at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence and Spa. We have our usual suite of listings highlighting the best of Bahrain’s entertainment and dining options, our look at the latest media filling your TV screens, phones and ears in Downtime, and our review of the best new chic place in town, Café Gourmandise at the Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain. Our motoring section this month has two special highlights; Kristian Harrison’s spectacular trip to Stuttgart, Germany with Porsche for the launch of the new Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid, and Edwin D’Souza’s electrifying test drive of the Mercedes EQE 350+, a futuristic electric sedan. Our guest columnist, Pria Masson, guides us through the art of budgeting, building on the concept of balance discussed in last month’s column to aid you in managing finances effectively. You may notice that I haven’t mentioned Woman This Month yet… and that’s because this month it has its own standalone issue packed full of amazing content including the big reveal related to our Woman of The Year Awards programme in December 2024 that I will leave you to discover in Woman This Month’s June edition! As always, Bahrain This Month is more than just a magazine. Stay connected with our vibrant community on our website, social media and more as we continue to be Your Guide to a Great Way of Life.
