Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted an invitation to visit Bahrain “in the near future”, with officials working on the “specifics”, according to a report by the Gulf Daily News website.
Russian Ambassador to Bahrain Igor Kremnev confirmed the news, while also adding that the two countries had signed a three-year bilateral agreement to boost cultural relations.
“Our co-operation in tourism and culture is developing at a generally good pace – performances by the Russian ballet and the Hermitage exhibition had a big resonance in Manama,” the ambassador was quoted as saying.
“[Bahrain’s] programme of attracting Russian tourists produced visible results, significantly increasing the flow of inbound tourism from Russia… I am sure that the planned signing of a programme of bilateral cultural co-operation for the next three-year period shall give additional dynamics to our joint work in this direction.”
