US Ambassador Steven C. Bondy issued a statement on the visit of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to Washington DC.
"The United States is honored to have hosted His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa for an official visit to Washington July 15-17, 2025. His Royal Highness’s engagements reaffirmed the depth and strength of the longstanding US-Bahraini strategic partnership and friendship. They further advanced the fulsome cooperation between our two nations through a shared vision to promote peace and prosperity in the United States, Bahrain, and the region.
His Royal Highness’s visit was highly successful in strengthening our security, commercial, technological, energy, and people-to-people ties. The significant trade deals announced are emblematic of the collaboration between our private sectors and integration of our economies. We particularly welcome the announcement of Gulf Air launching direct flights to the United States, which will spur even closer connections between Americans and Bahrainis.
The United States, Bahrain, and the United Kingdom participated in a ceremony celebrating the UK joining the Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement (C-SIPA), building upon the historic vision of the Abraham Accords by forging a broad integrated security and economic framework that strengthens regional stability and prosperity. The UK’s accession to C-SIPA lays the groundwork for even more robust collaboration on shared opportunities and challenges, paving the way for a more resilient Gulf region.
The visit of His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa to Washington underscores the strength and dynamism that are fundamental components of the relationship between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Bahrain. The visit sets the conditions for expanded bilateral cooperation in pursuit of peace, stability, and prosperity."
