Bahrain Showcases Cultural Power
TDT | Manama Bahrain's cultural voice is set to resonate on one of the world's most prestigious platforms as maestro Wahid Al Khan leads a team of Bahraini musicians in a live concert at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in Russia. The forum, which merges global economic dialogue with high-level cultural showcases, will feature a performance by Al Khan and a group of professional Bahraini artists aiming to spotlight the Kingdom's musical identity and creative talent. Art meets influence Among the musicians joining Al Khan are Malallah Mohammed, Ali Al Amari, Rashid Al Amari, Hamad Ali, Mohammed Khalifa and Ali Reza Morsli. Together, they will represent Bahrain's traditional and modern music in front of an international audience of policy-makers, business leaders and cultural delegates. The inclusion of Bahrain in the cultural programme of the forum reflects growing international recognition of the Kingdom's artistic depth and soft-power potential. Cultural diplomacy Organisers said the performance aligns with ongoing efforts to promote Bahrain as a centre for cultural exchange and innovation. It also reinforces the Kingdom's strategy of engaging globally through creative expression alongside economic and political diplomacy. The event provides a rare opportunity for Bahraini musicians to share the stage with artists and thought leaders from across the world, helping to deepen understanding of the country's heritage and modern identity. Global spotlight The forum, known as Russia's counterpart to Davos, attracts thousands of participants each year. For Bahrain, this concert signals a cultural milestone - one that positions art not as a side act, but as a central force in shaping the Kingdom's international profile.

Final flourish, familiar fight
TDT | Manama As the curtain draws on their FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying journey, Bahrain's national team take to the pitch today against China. Having already been mathematically eliminated from contention for North America, Dragan Talajic's side are playing for pride and for a measure of momentum heading into future cycles. Nothing to Play For, Everything to Prove The match at Chongqing Longxing Football Stadium, scheduled for 2:00 PM, carries no qualification weight for either side. Bahrain and China sit level on six points in Group C, with the former holding a superior goal difference. While progression is off the table, the fixture offers both nations a chance to end their campaign with a statement, and perhaps a degree of redemption after a tough qualifying stretch. Bahrain's most recent outing, a 2-0 loss at home to Saudi Arabia, confirmed their exit. Talajic's men showed flashes of potential, but a lack of cutting edge in the final third once again proved decisive. Now, the focus turns to a cleaner performance in Chongqing, where conditions and atmosphere will favour the hosts.
