The agency indicated that the Bahraini monarch received Ahmad al-Sharaa, President of the sisterly Syrian Arab Republic, and his accompanying delegation at Sakhir Palace (west of Bahrain), in the presence of the Crown Prince of Bahrain, Prime Minister Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
She added that the two sides reviewed aspects of bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries and opportunities to enhance them in various fields, in addition to discussing regional developments and the efforts being made in this regard.
The two sides also discussed "the latest developments in Syria and ways to support the security and stability of sisterly Syria," according to the same source.
Earlier on Saturday, Sharaa arrived in Bahrain and was received upon his arrival in Manama at the head of an official delegation by the son of the King of Bahrain, Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, according to what the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on its Twitter account.
Manama is Al-Sharaa's sixth Arab destination and eighth international destination since he assumed office.
Since assuming office last January, Al-Sharaa has visited Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and France.
On December 8, 2024, Syrian factions took control of the capital, Damascus, and other cities, ending 61 years of Baath Party rule and 53 years of Assad family control.
