He also affirmed that youth are the real assets of the nation.
He extended thanks and appreciation to those involved in such campaigns that reflect the citizens’ cohesion and solidarity during His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s prosperous era.
Al-Asfoor paid tribute to Team Bahrain, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, for the tremendous efforts they are exerting to fight the pandemic, stressing the importance of commitment to the collective responsibility to containing the outbreak of the virus.
