  We work closely with lots of other countries in the Middle East and particularly their Armed Forces. This is a link to an article about what we did last month in Saudi Arabia: http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/News-and-Events/Latest-News/2012/February/09/120209-Royal-Navy-Ensures-Anglo-Saudi-Relations
  A lot of countries in the Middle East are very pleased to work with us as the Royal Navy has a long standing good reputation. Sometimes we do training exercises with other Navys at sea (have a look at this link:http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/News-and-Events/Latest-News/2012/February/09/120209-Royal-Navy-Ensures-Anglo-Saudi-Relations)
  
  We also follow some strict rules to make sure our Weapon and Sensor systems (they emit radiation which can harm people if they were to get too close) remain safe when we visit all countries, not just ones in the Middle East.
