Syria

Bahrain and the Syrian Arab Republic established diplomatic relations on 23 January 1975.[1] Syria has an embassy in Manama. Bahrain reopened its embassy in Damascus in December 2018.[2]

## History[edit]

On 8 August 2013, following Saudi Arabia's decision to recall its ambassador, Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa announced that the Gulf archipelago state would recall its own ambassador.[3] Sunni sheikh Adel al-Hamad said that his son Abdulrahman was killed while fighting in Syria and that he had "hoped to fall as a martyr." He added: "He visited Syria once, then he returned to Bahrain where he prepared for his fighting gear and returned to Syria." In response, Interior Minister Rashid bin Abdullah al-Khalifa said that support should be given from the international community and that individuals should not be indoctrinated and radicalised.[4]

On June 19, 2022, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad received the credentials of Ambassador Waheed Mubarak Sayyar in an official ceremony attended by Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad.[5]

Bahrain supported Syria's re-admission to the Arab League. Bahrain expressed its full support for "Syria’s sovereignty and stability" and the need to "build bridges with friends" as the foreign ministers of the two countries met. Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told his Bahraini counterpart, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, that improving relations with other Arab countries is a priority for Syria, according to Syrian state-run news agency SANA.[6]
