On 11 October 2014 the UK and Bahrain signed a Defence Co-Operation Accord to provide a framework for existing and future defence engagement activity, including training and capacity- building, in order to enhance the stability of the wider region. The Accord complements Memoranda of Understanding covering Status of Forces, Defence Equipment Cooperation and Exercises and Training. In addition, we have had a long-standing presence in Bahrain, with continuous Royal Navy patrols in the Gulf since the 1980s protecting Britain's interests.
