    Involvement of Bahrain with Kerala has a two-fold benefit. Health, Education, Tourism are three segments that have benefit for both Bahrain as well as Kerala. In addition to Kerala investing their money in Bahrain, the same way applies Bahrain to invest their private sector as well as public sector deals with Kerala. The globalization scheme is highly beneficial for both Kerala and Bahrain. People of Kerala have always maintained a high level friendship and confidence wherever they went because their Educational level has enabled the people of Kerala to impress upon all their associations abroad. With daily flights from Bahrain to many cities in Kerala, there is lot more for Bahrainis to enjoy in the State of Kerala. This is going to be a "win-win" situation for everybody. We wish them best of luck.
