Al Ammadi said: "Diyar Al Muharraq is honoured to support this initiative which falls within the framework of our organization’s social responsibility efforts."

 

"Our partnership with the American University of Bahrain will enable us to contribute towards the advancement of the higher education sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain and further support students who seek to further their academic ambitions.
