A Privilege to Serve

by: BTM - Sun, 07 Jun 2026

It was a profound honour to receive the kind letter from His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, on the occasion of Bahrain This Month’s milestone 340th edition.

On behalf of our entire team, I extend my sincere gratitude to His Royal Highness for his generous words of encouragement and recognition. I also offer our deepest thanks to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa for the wise leadership, stability and vision that have allowed Bahrain to flourish as a nation of opportunity, warmth and progress.

Since its launch in September 1997, Bahrain This Month has always sought to do more than publish a magazine. Our mission has been to reflect the life of the Kingdom, celebrate its achievements and share the stories of the people, businesses, communities and institutions that make Bahrain so special.

Now, as we reach our 346th issue, that sense of pride is stronger than ever. We have had the privilege of documenting Bahrain’s growth, its cultural richness, its entrepreneurial spirit and its remarkable openness to the world. Most importantly, we have had the honour of serving its people.

The Crown Prince and Prime Minister’s letter is a reminder of the responsibility that comes with our work. It inspires us to continue with renewed dedication, journalistic integrity and affection for the country we are proud to call home.

We look forward to many more issues, many more stories and many more years of celebrating the best of Bahrain in Your Guide to a Great Way of Life.

Sincerely,
George F. Middleton
