Bahrain unveils plans to build new mosque

RIYADH, February 18, 2017

Bahrain's His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has ordered the construction of the King Hamad Mosque in Muharraq that will reflect the magnificent Islamic tolerance, the people's rich diversity and the Kingdom's status throughout history and oriental and occidental civilisations, said a report.

Turkey will be sending a delegation of architects to Bahrain to oversee the design of the mosque which will reflect the deep-rooted ties between the two countries and Turkey's aesthetic Islamic cultural heritage, reported BNA.

An agreement in this regard was inked during the latest visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the kingdom, it stated.

In another development, the kingdom announced plans to celebrate this year's Bahraini Women's Day in honour of the Bahraini women in the engineering field.

The decision was announced by Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the wife of HM the King and president of the Supreme Council for Women (SCW).

Lauding the move, Minister of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning, Essam bin Abdullah Khalaf, said the initiative accentuates appreciation of the Bahraini women's efforts in engineering field.

This will stimulate them to accomplish more achievements to the homeland, he added.
