<p>Our Ambassador and his team in Bahrain, and FCO officials in the UK, regularly
meet with Bahraini civil society and NGOs to seek the widest views possible. Our engagement
is constructive and focused on supporting political and human rights reform. In June,
my predecessor, Rt Hon Sir Hugh Robertson MP KCMG, visited Bahrain and met a wide
range of representatives including human rights defenders and civil society groups
to hear their views on the political and human rights situation.</p><p>We commend
the steps taken by the Bahraini government to implement the recommendations set out
in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry. As outlined in our recent human
rights case study on Bahrain, progress has been made in a number of areas but there
is still more to be done.</p>
