The Bahraini Minister of Information Mohamed Ibrahim Al Mutawaa expressed his hope that Bahraini - Iranian relations will improve, especially with the good Iranian moves. He said that his country is trying to establish positive relations and friendship with the neighboring Iran for the benefit of both countries.

The Bahraini Minister of Information said that the visits exchanged between the two countries' officials aim to establish such good relations, and that Bahrain managed to overcome all the internal security events it had witnessed in the past and that it is looking forward for a future full of confidence and optimism.

He added that peace is a strategic choice for the Arab nation based on international resolutions with Arab consensus on the popular and official levels, embodied in the recent Arab Summit last June.

Al Mutawaa stressed the necessity for the Israeli government to be committed to the agreements and the necessity for a more active American role in order to achieve just and comprehensive peace.

He also expressed his hope that the Gulf Summit whose meetings are to start tomorrow in Kuwait will strengthen integration among the peoples of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
