He credited this to the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, with constant follow-up by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
Marking the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, held each year on 21 May, Al Salloom said Bahrain's open approach to religion and culture forms part of HM the King's wider reform plans, and has helped raise Bahrain's standing in this area both in the region and abroad.
Among the projects he mentioned was the King Hamad Programme for Peaceful Coexistence, launched as a teaching platform to give young people the means to spread values of mutual respect across borders. The programme runs in partnership with Oxford University and the King Hamad Global Foundation.
He also referred to the King Hamad Global Centre for Peaceful Coexistence, founded in 2018 as a place for meetings and dialogue between followers of different faiths and traditions.
