The clear proof of strong friendship
Member of Parliament Hassan Ibrahim has welcomed the suite of major agreements signed by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, during his official visit to the United States. He described the deals — valued at an estimated $17 billion — as a clear proof of the strong friendship binding Bahrain and the U.S. 'These agreements move the Bahrain–US partnership into a new phase,' said Mr Ibrahim. He added: 'They show how determined the leadership is to draw in investment, open up job opportunities and build national skills for the good of everyday Bahrainis.' Among the standout agreements is a major aviation deal that will see Gulf Air acquire new aircraft and engines from Boeing and General Electric. In parallel, Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat has committed up to $2 billion to support industrial projects in the U.S., particularly in aluminium-linked manufacturing. Bahrain's digital ambitions also took a leap forward with plans to build a strategic undersea cable linking the Kingdom with neighbouring Gulf states. Meanwhile, the signing of a civil nuclear cooperation accord — known as the 123 Agreement — paves the way for Bahrain to explore peaceful atomic energy as part of its long-term net-zero strategy. The Kingdom also entered into new partnerships with American tech giants Oracle and Cisco to accelerate its digital transformation and advance capabilities in artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Mr Ibrahim extending his best wishes for Bahrain's continued progress and prosperity under the guidance of its leadership.
