On 28 November 2024, a workshop was held to introduce the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution (BCDR)'s role, services, and jurisdiction to the Sri Lankan business community in Bahrain. The event was organized in collaboration with the Sri Lankan Embassy in Bahrain, following a previous visit to the BCDR by Sri Lanka's Ambassador to Bahrain, H.M.G.R.R.K. Wijeratne Mendis. The workshop covered dispute resolution options available through the BCDR. It highlighted key topics, including an overview of arbitration and mediation processes, as well as how to access BCDR facilities. Attendees learned about the many benefits of resolving disputes through the BCDR, with a focus on its ability to promote fair and efficient outcomes.
The workshop was attended by Ambassador H.M.G.R.R.K. Wijeratne Mendis, Ms. Madhuka Silva, Head of Chancery, along with other embassy staff and members of the Sri Lankan business community living in Bahrain.
Facilitated by BCDR case managers Fatema Al Zayed Al Jalahma and Salman Ahmad, as well as Acting Chief Registrar Khalid Al Khayat and CEO Ahmad Husain, the event offered valuable insights and resources for all participants.
This initiative underscores BCDR's commitment to increasing awareness and improving access to dispute resolution services both locally and internationally.
