UK Joins US-Bahrain CSIPA Pact, Bolstering Middle East Security
Dec 7, 2024, 08:07 AM
The United Kingdom is set to join a key security and economic agreement between the United States and Bahrain, known as the Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement (CSIPA). This development was announced by Bahrain, with the UK being invited to become a partner in the pact this weekend. The agreement aims to enhance security cooperation and economic ties between the involved nations. The Labour government in the UK has signed up to this agreement, which also involves the US and the Bahraini government, described by some as a dictatorship. The UK's accession to the pact is seen as a significant step in bolstering its defense and security partnership in the Middle East, particularly given Bahrain's role in hosting British naval facilities in the Gulf.
