Damascus, Jan 8 (AP) Syria's de facto leader Ahmad al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.
The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria's new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.
Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad's rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.
Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad's ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.” (AP)
