Prince of Bahrain is due to visit Muscat at end of this week

Diplomatic sources stated that Bahraini Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Issa Al-Khalifa will pay at the end of the first week of March an official visit to Muscat at invitation of Sultan Qaboos Bin Said of Oman.

Sultan Qaboos and Sheikh Hamad will hold talks concerning the developments in the Gulf and the peace process in the Middle East.

This visit comes to resume the Arab and the Gulf visits paid by the emir of Bahrain after his assumption of power following the death of his father, Sheikh Issa Bin Salman al-Khalifa in March 1999.
