We regularly discuss reform with the Government of Bahrain. At the November 2015 UK-Bahrain Joint Working Group meeting I stressed the importance of implementing the outstanding recommendations made in the report. The Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) report revealed deep-rooted and historical challenges which will take time for the Government of Bahrain to address fully. As a trusted partner we will continue to offer practical and technical assistance to help the authorities deliver reforms that benefit all Bahrainis.
