Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa Bahrain Quotations

Bahrain 's margin of freedom is growing day after day as we head into the future with steady steps.

May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.

There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.

The Bahraini people are eager to obtain facts to enable them to shape a comprehensive national opinion without division among its people. We confirm to all journalists and media personnel in the kingdom of Bahrain that their freedom is preserved and their rights are safeguarded.

Bahrain lies at the epicenter of Gulf security and any violent upheaval in Bahrain would have enormous geopolitical consequences. Global economic stability depends on the uninterrupted export of crude oil from the Gulf to markets around the world - a job that historically has been assigned to the U.S. Fifth Fleet.

We invite American companies looking to raise capital to list on the Bahrain Stock Exchange. The region has a liquidity oversupply approximating $1 trillion and this pool of capital can be tapped into by creative American companies. The next Facebook may very well get funded on the BSE.
