The annual gala dinner for Fight AIDS Monaco took place Friday evening at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club. Prince Albert II, his sister Princess Stephanie, and his fiancèe Charlene Wittstock turned out for the event which aims to raise money for the charity, run by Stephanie.

Earlier this week, the Princess spoke on Monegasque radio about Fight AIDS Monaco. She called listeners to “respect his own life” and talked about preventing the spread of HIV by practicing safe sex.

Stephanie also recently spoke to an Italian magazine about Fight AIDS Monaco’s recent project, La Maison de Vie, which is a retreat for those who are HIV-positive. She said her desire to help others came from her parents.

“Mom was generous and open to others, and this is how we have behaved. Dad did nothing but repeat to me: ‘The fact that you are born in this palace does not make you any better or more important’.”

British Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa, to 10 Downing Street Thursday, where the two leaders discussed furthering economic bilateral ties.

The King and the PM also talked about their two countries long history together, starting with the 1971 Treaty of Friendship, in which its 40th anniversary will be celebrated next year.

Cameron mentioned to the monarch that he hopes his coalition government will reestablish ties with the Gulf states, Bahrain in particular.

Furthermore foreign policies were talked about, especially Afghanistan and the Mideast Peace Process. Both agreed that the process of establishing a separate country for the Palestinians needs to move ahead again. Cameron and King Hamad also agreed on implementing in full the recent UN Security Council Resolution on Iran’s nuclear program.

At the end of the meeting, Cameron and King Hamad said in a joint statement that it was a “warm and productive meeting.”
