Bilateral Security Agreements

Bilateral Security Agreements (BSAs) are formal agreements between two countries that specify how they will cooperate on security and military matters. These agreements often outline the presence of military personnel, bases, or equipment, and set rules for their operations, ensuring mutual understanding and security cooperation. They help countries work together to address threats, support stability, and maintain defense relations, while respecting each other's sovereignty. Essentially, BSAs establish a framework for partnership and collaboration in defense matters between two nations.
