Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa arrived at Sharm el Sheikh Airport on Thursday to take part in the proceedings of Egypt Economic Development Conference, which will kick off on Friday.
Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab, Investment Minister Ashraf Salman and Bahraini Ambassador to Egypt Rashed bin Abdulrahman were on hand to receive the Bahraini king upon arrival at the airport.
Egypt is hoping through the Sharm el Sheikh conference to re-galvanize its flagging economic fortunes by drawing in some major long-term investments for large and essential national projects.
