Bangalore, July 16 (IANS) Bahrain has asked the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) to maintain the advanced jet trainer Hawk fleet of its air force. "Bahrain's transport minister Kamal bin Ahmed Mohamed, who also looks after his country's defence, urged our chairman R.K. Tyagi to provide technical support to the British-made jet trainer at a meeting in London," the company said in a statement here Wednesday. Indian defence firms like HAL can offer a lot to the Gulf Cooperation Council and Bahrain in meeting our needs," Mohamed said on the occasion. The city-based HAL participated in the Bahrain air show, held at Manama Jan 16-18 this year, and explored the areas of cooperation with the island country.
