Bahrain and Russia are united by a partnership aimed at ensuring the development and stability in the region, Bahraini Information Minister Ramzan bin Abdullah Al-Noaimi told Sputnik.
"The Kingdom [of Bahrain] and Russia are partners in development and working towards stability in the Middle East region. They are united by strong cooperation in all areas," the minister said.
He also described the relations between Russia and Bahrain as "exceptional," especially in the cultural area.
The Bahraini official recalled that, being in charge of culture and mass media, he had met with Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova during her visit to Manama in February. That visit demonstrated the depth of the bilateral relations, he added.
