During these visits Cdre Alkandiri met with Cdre Saqib Qamar, the Commander of the Bahraini Coast Guard and RAdm Ahmed Bin Ali, the Head of the Bahraini Navy. At these meetings the two Bahraini Commanders expressed their support for the CTF 152 ongoing mission, promoting maritime security in the Arabian Gulf and enabling the free flow of commerce, whilst Cdre Alkandiri thanked Bahrain for their continued hosting of CMF’s Command functions and their own security efforts within Bahrain’s territorial waters.
Looking to the future all parties agreed to continue working together to improve the flow of information between the different organisations as well as the Bahraini Coast Guard expressing their willingness to participate in the CTF 152 Command Staff.
