Every Monday, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the Kingdom of Bahrain, Nayef bin Bandar Al -Sudairy, opens the doors of his upscale home in his modern and elegant style, to collect the elite of ministers, senior officials and thoughts and culture, in his atmosphere council bearing a special imprint of the hospitality and authentic Saudi generosity.
The council, which is held weekly under the title renewed every time, is not just a social occasion, but rather a spacious space for dialogue and exchange of visions, combining official and human warmth. It is a living model for the soft diplomacy that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has known, where the attendees meet the table of thought and discussion, as they meet at the table of brotherhood and love.
In all the details of this council, one touches the depth of the attention that the ambassador attaches to its guests, starting with the warm welcome, through the selection of topics that enrich the debate, to that human touches that make the meeting more than just an official meeting, but rather a cultural and social experience that establishes the proximity between the two brotherly peoples.
This diplomatic initiative, which is keen on Ambassador Nayef bin Bandar Al -Sudairy, represents a qualitative addition to the march of Bahraini -Saudi relations, as it opens windows for direct communication, and enhances joint understanding, and confirms that relations between the two countries not only based on interests, but also to the ties of brotherhood that are renewed and strengthened with each meeting.
I had the honor to attend this council yesterday evening, in the presence of prominent national stature, to witness the closeness of that unique mixture of high -end dialogue, great attention, and the generosity that befits the image of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the conscience of the Bahrainis. I left and I have a deeper appreciation for this approach, and a greater belief that what brings Bahrain and Saudi Arabia goes beyond geography and politics, to reach the depth of feelings, ties of history and common destiny.
