US’ Antony Blinken sign strategic security and economic agreement with Bahrain PM | Oneindia News
The US has signed an agreement with Bahrain to enhance defence and economic ties.
The move is reported to be a show of support for the Gulf monarchy that faced an arms embargo a decade ago.
It is to be noted that Bahrain has tense relations with nearby Iran.
It is already home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.
But as per reports, the agreement will solidify the relationship both symbolically and by boosting cooperation, including through a commitment to share intelligence.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed the deal in a ceremony with Bahrain's Crown Prince, Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa.
