His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, has emphasised Bahrain’s unwavering commitment to expanding the Bahrain-US strategic partnership.
He met US Vice President J D Vance at the White House yesterday.
HRH Prince Salman said this strategic partnership, which spans over 130 years, builds on recent visits and bilateral agreements, particularly the Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement (C-SIPA), which was joined by the United Kingdom following an invitation extended by Bahrain and the United States.

He affirmed the kingdom’s commitment to cementing its position as a regional hub for technology and industry.
This is supported by Bahrain’s favourable legislative and regulatory environment, its strategic location and advanced infrastructure – all of which will play a crucial role in strengthening bilateral relations.

HRH Prince Salman expressed hope for the advancement of joint efforts across diverse sectors, paving the way for greater bilateral co-operation that aligns with the shared aspirations of both countries.
HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister affirmed the strength and depth of the economic partnership, describing it as a strategic milestone which reflects the enduring bilateral relationship and the long-standing tradition of co-ordination between them.
