Aviation & Tourism Links: Gulf Air has opened bookings for direct Bahrain–Kuala Lumpur flights from Sept 29, with extra capacity ahead of the Bahrain GP weekend at Sepang in October.

Energy Trade Deal: Uganda and Tanzania signed an MoU with Vitol Bahrain to develop the Tanga Regional Energy Hub, expanding beyond the EACOP pipeline and targeting storage, refining support, logistics and trading.
