The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, underscored the importance of the upcoming 33rd Arab Summit in Bahrain against the backdrop of pressing challenges facing the Arab region.
These challenges notably include the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and the deteriorating political and humanitarian conditions impacting several regional countries.
In the lead-up to the summit, expected on Thursday, the Speaker of the Council of Representatives of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Ahmed bin Salman Al-Musallam, held preparatory meetings with Secretary-General Aboul Gheit and Assistant Secretary-General Ambassador Hossam Zaki of the Arab League.
Aboul Gheit highlighted the pivotal role of the Arab Summit in Bahrain in shaping a cohesive Arab stance. He also acknowledged the significant contribution of Arab parliamentary diplomacy to fostering collective Arab efforts.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed 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 al-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.”
