HIS MAJESTY KING HAMAD<br />
BIN ISA AL KHALIFA<br />
On 6 March 1999, His Majesty King Hamad<br />
bin Isa Al Khalifa was named the ruler<br />
of Bahrain. Within the first years of his<br />
reign, His Majesty changed the ruling<br />
system in the country into a constitutional<br />
Monarchy in accordance with The <strong>National</strong><br />
Action Charter prepared by a national<br />
committee. His Majesty implemented<br />
democracy as a way of rule, with<br />
people participation and parliament<br />
activity playing a major role in the<br />
governance of the country.<br />
His Majesty’s wisdom<br />
and vision are seen in the<br />
progressive reforms initiated<br />
by him to ensure general<br />
freedom, encourage political<br />
participation, and enable<br />
women’s rights. His Majesty<br />
was the first leader to<br />
initiate the establishment<br />
of a united Gulf parliament<br />
that includes members<br />
of the GCC. These<br />
reforms have opened<br />
doors for Bahrainis<br />
to participate in the<br />
country’s development<br />
and attracted more<br />
Arab and international<br />
investment into the<br />
country. His Majesty<br />
has worked tirelessly<br />
to enhance Bahrain’s<br />
role in promoting world<br />
peace and stability.<br />
