Landmark improvements to military ties among GCC states are coming soon, said a senior official of the Bahrain Defence Force (BDF).

BDF Commander-in-Chief Marshal Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa (photo) told Kuwaiti daily Al Rai that a study has been completed for a GCC military union, reported the Gulf Daily News.

A maritime co-ordination centre will also be approved, he said.

Sheikh Khalifa also affirmed the capabilities of Bahrain’s security agencies to deal with those attempting to destabilize its security, describing them as “weak and beaten”.

“We are stronger than ever before in terms of measures, readiness and Security Forces,” he said.
