Bahrain has reinforced its global commitment to coexistence and tolerance by appointing Muneera Al-Dosari as Executive Director of the King Hamad Global Centre for Coexistence and Tolerance. This appointment highlights Bahrain’s determination to promote coexistence and tolerance at both national and international levels.
The Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, who also chairs the Centre’s Board of Trustees, announced Al-Dosari’s appointment. He praised her extensive experience and ability to lead programs that foster coexistence and tolerance worldwide. Furthermore, he emphasized that Bahrain continues to set an example for respecting cultural and religious diversity while encouraging dialogue between civilizations.
