He added that the association represents Bahraini journalists abroad, giving them a voice on international platforms.

He explained that such international engagement enhances Bahrain’s global presence. It allows Bahraini journalists to exchange ideas, broaden perspectives, and adopt innovative approaches. This global cooperation also introduces fresh practices that benefit the local media community.

He also pointed out that the association organizes workshops and training sessions throughout the year. These events provide practical learning opportunities, improve reporting skills, and help young journalists adapt to industry demands. Such programs ensure continuous growth in Bahrain’s journalistic standards.

Al-Hammadi wished the association success in its future initiatives. He encouraged members to serve the profession with dedication and commitment. He affirmed that freedom and democracy grow stronger when institutions like the association remain active and responsive to society’s needs.
