What distinguishes the Bahraini experience in this field is its constant keenness to work with the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) according to the highest professional standards, while adhering to its basic principles, on top of which is neutral, transparency, and avoiding any interventions A political or military character.
This harmony between Bahraini national policies and Interpol principles has strengthened the Kingdom’s credibility as a reliable partner on the international security scene, and contributed to strengthening cooperation relations with police services around the world.

In light of the security challenges, especially with regard to the threat of terrorism, Bahrain has adopted a long -term strategic approach that is not limited to the immediate response, but rather from its moral and international duty in the face of this scourge. This includes strengthening the exchange of intelligence, implementing joint operations, and developing coordination channels with friendly countries, with the aim of eradicating the roots of terrorism and tracking those involved in it wherever they are.
The Kingdom of Bahrain also links international security cooperation with the achievement of the goals of the sustainable development of the United Nations, as it sees in enhancing security and stability a basic pillar of economic and social development.
