Bahrain Ambassador to Kuwait receives Catholicos Aram I



Manama, May 21 (BNA): Ambassador of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the
State of Kuwait, Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, received His
Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Cilicia of the Armenians, on the
occasion of his recent visit to Kuwait to inaugurate a new cathedral
and a prelacy for the Armenian community.

The Ambassador held a luncheon in honour of His Holiness Aram I, which
was attended by a number of ambassadors, dignitaries and religious
men.

The Catholicos commended Bahrain's support for the values of
coexistence and dialogue among civilizations, cultures, religions and
creeds.

He also praised the role of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
in instilling these values through his vision and keenness on hosting
conferences and forums and inviting to them senior scholars, religious
figures and intellectuals of different faiths.

Shaikh Khalifa extended thanks to Aram I the Catholicos for accepting
the invitation, saying that his response indicates the existence of a
spirit of co-existence between followers of divine religions and the
others and proves that there are thoughtful wise people in this world.
