He underscored the high confidence in the competence of Bahraini human capital as a world-class national asset.

The minister also emphasised that investing in citizens’ capabilities is an investment in Bahrain’s future and its competitiveness as a leading and attractive investment destination.

The minister expressed appreciation to the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) for its positive response and support in providing job opportunities to citizens, noting the private sector’s role as a key partner of the public sector within Team Bahrain.
