Shaikh Khalid emphasised that the royal patronage of the Games underscores the importance of intensifying efforts by all ministries, government agencies and private sector partners.
He highlighted the need for continued co-ordination with the Executive Committee to ensure that preparations are completed in a timely manner and that the event reflects the kingdom’s distinguished record in hosting major international sporting events.

He reiterated the importance of integration and sustained co-ordination among all entities concerned and the Executive Committee to meet the organisational requirements and ensure the successful delivery of the Games in a manner befitting Bahrain’s reputation in hosting major sporting events.
Shaikh Khalid reviewed the security plan presented by the Interior Ministry, the proposed awards programme from the National Communication Centre, and the comprehensive media coverage and broadcast plan submitted by the Information Ministry.
