UAE landmarks to light up to mark Bahrain's National Day

Key landmarks in the UAE will light up in Bahraini flag colours on Wednesday to mark the Kingdom's National Day.

Festive decorations will be set up at the airports, with Bahraini visitors welcomed with flowers and souvenirs.

The celebrations are a reflection of the deep relations and strategic partnership between the two countries and their people.

The countries share historic ties dating back many decades, which were advanced and strengthened by their common visions and beliefs and the close relations between their leaderships, represented by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Majesty King Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain.

The countries have signed several economic and commercial cooperation agreements which increased the value of their trade to AED 28.7 billion in 2019.
