Sheikh Khalid recently completed a friendship tour of the U.S, which culminated in attending Barack Obama’s inauguration.
He published an “open letter to the American people” in which he praised Obama as a “dynamic and unifying leader who will reach across geographic, demographic and political divides and forge new partnerships to meet the challenges of the 21st century.”
BKSH provides intelligence gathering, foreign policy analysis and strategic counsel to the RAK, which seeks U.S. backing in its territorial squabble with Iran over two islands in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait is the only sea passage to the open ocean for the Arabian Gulf States. More than 20 percent of the world’s oil supply travels through the Strait. |
