Russia Cements Relations with Bahrain
Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev and H.M. Sheikh Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain, passed a joint statement about the intent to strengthen friendly relations of both countries. The recent negotiations were the first talks of Russia’s and Bahrain's leaders in history.
H.M. Sheikh Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa backed up Russia’s initiative, whereby Moscow would host the Middle East conference early next year. The king also supported Russia in its resolve to sort out all problems through political and diplomatic methods exclusively.
As to the potential cooperation of Russia and Bahrain, one of the fields could be the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The memorandum of Russia and Bahrain provides for setting up the respective bilateral working teams, said Sergei Kirienko, who heads Russia’s nuclear energy Rosatom. Those teams will deliberate on training the personal for the use of civil nuclear energy.
“At the request of Bahrain’s party, we intend in future to held develop their nuclear plants of low power that will enable the kingdom to control the heat balance more accurately,” Kirienko said.
