LEADERS from across the political spectrum have been urged not to throw away the chance to take Bahrain forward into a new era.

The latest round of talks will provide a “second opportunity” to discuss key issues facing the country in a transparent manner, said Minister of State for Information Affairs Sameera Rajab.

“It is important for all participants to reach consensus,” she said on the sidelines of a Press conference to announce fresh talks chaired by Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Ali Al Khalifa.

No venue has been given for the talks, which are expected to be held in the evening three times a week.
