In line with the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to expand afforestation across Bahrain’s governorates, Deputy Prime Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa planted and watered the 191,000th tree at Manama Municipality, marking the completion of afforestation works and the surpassing of the annual target for 2025 under the national afforestation plan.
The initiative was attended by a number of ministers and senior officials.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that the progress achieved since the launch of the afforestation plan in 2022 aligns with the comprehensive development process led by His Majesty King Hamad, which aims to support environmental sustainability, enhance quality of life and achieve balance between urban development and environmental, social and economic considerations.
He noted that the close attention given to the afforestation plan by HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister has played a direct role in accelerating implementation, improving performance efficiency and underscoring the prominence of environmental priorities within government work, as well as advancing current plan targets towards the overall goal set for 2035.
