PETALING JAYA: Johor and Bahrain are about to work hand-in-hand in the fields of oil and gas, tourism, healthcare and education. This has been made possible following Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar’s visit to the kingdom.

The possibilities of the two strengthening cooperation came about after a private lunch meeting between Sultan Ibrahim, Bahrain’s King Hamad Isa Al Khalifa and Bahrain Prime Minister Prince Khalifa Salman Al Khalifa at the Shaikh Hamad Palace in Manama on Monday. Present at the meeting was Tunku Temenggong Johor Tunku Idris Iskandar.
