The Saudi-Bahraini Coordination Council: A Pillar of Cooperation
Institutional mechanisms, foremost among them the Saudi-Bahraini Coordination Council, co-chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his Bahraini counterpart, Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, play a pivotal role in advancing bilateral cooperation. The Council aims to institutionalize relations and elevate them to broader horizons through impactful initiatives encompassing economic, investment, security, military, and cultural aspects.
