Bahrain resumed operations at its embassy in Syria, which has been shut since 2011.
Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said the reopening of the embassy affirms the importance of continued relations with Syria.
In a statement, the ministry stressed "the Arab role" in preserving Syria’s independence and preventing dangerous regional intervention in its affairs - an apparent reference to Iran’s strengthened foothold there, the AP reported.
Yesterday, the United Arab Emirates reopened its embassy in Damascus. The concerted moves come seven years after Gulf Arab states recalled their ambassadors and shuttered their embassies in Syria to isolate Assad.
