Bahrain to celebrate milestone in style


MANAMA: Bahrain is preparing to celebrate 10 years of His Majesty King Hamad's rule in style. The Culture and Information Ministry has launched a logo marking this year's Accession Day under the slogan, "Ten Bright Years". All ministries and government departments will hold their celebrations under this slogan.

The ministry has designed it and sent a circular to all ministries and government departments. The 38th National Day and the 10th Accession Day will therefore be held under a unified slogan, already approved by the Royal Court. The logo is rectangular in shape with a golden background bearing Bahrain Royal Crest on one half, while the other half features the slogan "Ten Illuminating Years" carved in Arabic calligraphy on Arabesque background. Under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad, Bahrain TV will unveil its new identity, signaling the start of the National Day and Accession Day festivities. A number of high profile events has also been lined up to mark this year's celebrations. It includes a series of sports and cultural competitions, in addition to contests inspired by the national heritage.

A photography exhibition will also be held under the theme: "Bahrain in the eyes of the world".

Other events include, Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad's Endurance Championship and first youth poetry festival.

Class medals will be distributed and the popular allegiance and loyalty rally will also be held as part of the month-long celebrations.
