The Kingdom of Bahrain is known for its welcoming nature and has long enjoyed strong and enduring diplomatic relations with several countries across the world.

As I ponder on the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s accession to the throne, it immediately comes to mind how much the world has changed over the past 25 years. In 1999, who could have predicted the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of Bitcoin or the revolution sparked by social media?
In Bahrain, the turn of the millennium also marked transformative milestones, including the approval of the National Charter, the empowerment of women through voting and elected office, and the hosting of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, among many other achievements.
Today, the dhow of Bahrain continues to navigate successfully on its remarkable journey through the 21st century, guided by the moral compass of His Majesty King Hamad and anchored in the sense of national identity he so powerfully embodies.
On this joyous occasion, Brazil, in unison, extends its heartfelt wishes for long life and continued success to His Majesty, celebrating the progress and spirit of this wonderful and cherished country.

I wish the people of Bahrain a happy holiday and the Kingdom of Bahrain long prosperity!

Japan and Bahrain have enjoyed a strong friendship since 1972. Our royal and imperial families have maintained mutual respect, highlighted by King Hamad’s visit to Japan in 2012 and Crown Prince Salman’s attendance at Emperor Naruhito’s enthronement in 2019. Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako fondly remember their 1994 visit to Bahrain. Over the decades, our partnership has grown stronger, built on shared values and goals.
Guided by His Majesty’s visionary leadership and commitment to peace and stability, our bilateral relations as well as collaboration on global agenda are flourishing. Economically, our nations have forged robust partnerships. Our trade relations, which began in 1934, continue to thrive.
