Bahrain will play host to a high-level business summit this November as food industry leaders from Morocco and Bahrain prepare to explore new opportunities in trade, manufacturing, and investment.
The meeting, focused exclusively on the food industry, aims to bring together representatives from top Moroccan companies and their Bahraini counterparts for a series of business-to-business sessions, technical exchanges, and joint market development plans.
Preparatory efforts
In advance of the event, His Excellency Mustapha Benkhayi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to the Kingdom of Bahrain, met with Dr. Salah Al-Othman, representative of Alshall Consulting and President of Qarar National Consulting, which is organising the summit.
Both parties discussed the need for a comprehensive programme, including specialised working sessions, bilateral meetings, and on-site field visits, to ensure maximum benefit for the participating companies and institutions.
The programme is also expected to involve key Bahraini governmental bodies and professional associations, reinforcing the strategic nature of the collaboration.
Dr. Al-Othman noted that the initiative is designed to deepen Bahrain-Morocco economic ties, particularly in the food sector, and to provide a gateway for expanding trade volumes and market access.

Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific unveils deal to buy 14 Boeing jets
TDT | Hong Kong Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific said on Wednesday it would place a US$8.1 billion order for 14 Boeing jets, its first with the US aircraft maker for more than a decade. The airline said in a filing to the city's stock exchange it would "purchase 14 Boeing 777- 9 aircraft" and had "secured the right to acquire up to seven additional Boeing 777-9 aircraft". The new order expects the aircraft to be delivered by 2034, according to a separate filing. Cathay was one of the first buyers to commit to Boeing's 777X programme when it unveiled the purchase of 21 aircraft in 2013. Boeing said in a statement the new deal brought the order book of 777-9 aircraft -- "the world's largest twin-engine airplane" -- to 35. The jets, designed to reduce fuel use and emissions, would meet Cathay's growing global travel demand, it said. "Boeing certainly had a troubled period in the recent past, but we are very encouraged by the renewed focus that Boeing leadership has on engineering and production quality," Cathay's operations and service delivery officer Alex McGowan told a news conference. Cathay already has a fleet of more than 230 mostly passenger aircraft, consisting of Boeing and Airbus jets. It has agreed to buy more than 100 new aircraft, it said on Wednesday, adding that the new order has brought Cathay's total investment to $12.7 billion (HK$100 billion).

Businessman on Trial for Faking Brother's Death in $500,000 Insurance Scam
TDT | Manama A businessman appeared before the High Criminal Court accused of orchestrating a fake death scheme involving his brother to fraudulently claim a $500,000 life insurance payout. The man, who was reported dead, was later discovered to be alive and living abroad. The case revolves around a 44-year-old investor who had taken out a life insurance policy in April 2023, listing his wife as the beneficiary. Just four months later, the insurance company received a death notice from a broker, claiming the policyholder had died in an Asian country. A claim was submitted, and a civil court initially ruled in favour of the wife. However, when the insurance company requested supporting documents, inconsistencies began to emerge, eventually uncovering the alleged fraud.
