The Minister of State for Information Affairs and the Official Government Spokesperson of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Samira Ibrahim bin Rajab, said that Bahrain survived the attempts of spreading political and sectarian conflicts that were caused by radical groups, referring to the efforts made by the Bahraini leadership to enhance security, internal dialogue as well as building State institutions.<br />
<br />
During her lecture titled “The Current Affairs in Bahrain and the Gulf Region” at the Jordan Media Institute (JMI), bin Rajab emphasized the deep relations between Bahrain and Jordan which are represented in mutual cooperation and exchange of experiences in various fields, especially in the media sector. She pointed out that her visit to Jordan came within the context of strengthening cooperation between the two kingdoms.<br />
<br />
She explained that Bahrain is witnessing a significant change in its reform project, represented in establishing institutions that apply democracy and the rule of law. She also reviewed the efforts made by the leadership in Bahrain to hold a comprehensive dialogue with all the political players, and discussed the turning points in the current state of affairs and the ensuing results, noting that constitutional amendments were made by the Kingdom of Bahrain.<br />
<br />
She also added that the protests witnessed in Bahrain during the last three years were led by radical groups with systematic agendas that aim to falsely depict the security situation in Bahrain as difficult and unstable: “life in Bahrain is extremely normal, and terrorists are being confronted by law”, she said.<br />
<br />
At the end of the lecture, which was attended by Bahrain's Ambassador to Jordan, Nasser bin Rashid Al-Kaabi, as well as representatives of media institutions, bin Rajab answered some questions and inquiries revolving around current affairs in Bahrain and the Gulf region.<br />
