Bahrain National Day 16 December

Department of State

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend our best wishes to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the people of the Kingdom of Bahrain on the 54th anniversary of your National Day.

This year the United States and Bahrain deepened our already strong partnership through the expansion of the Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement. President Trump welcomed His Royal Highness Crown Prince and Prime Minister Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa for an historic visit to Washington. Bahrain's commitment to promoting tolerance and peace continues to serve as a model for the region. The United States greatly values its friendship with the Kingdom of Bahrain and is committed to working with its leaders to advance peace, economic opportunity, and security for generations to come.
