Bahrain’s King Discusses with Sharaa Ways to Support Syria’s Security, Stability

Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on Saturday discussed with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa regional developments, the situation in Syria and ways to support the country’s security and stability.

At the Sakhir Palace, the king and Sharaa tackled relations and opportunities to strengthen cooperation across various domains, according to Bahrain’s news agency, BNA.

Sharaa arrived in Manama on Saturday, heading an official delegation. He was received at the airport by Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of the King for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs.

Later, King Hamad held talks with Sharaa in the presence of Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The two men addressed regional developments, BNA said in a statement.

They also discussed the latest developments in Syria and ways to support the country’s security and stability.

Sharaa’s visit to Bahrain is part of Syria’s diplomatic efforts to secure Arab support for the lifting of sanctions and the funding of the country’s reconstruction, Syrian officials say.

“The visit to Bahrain is part of the new Syrian government’s efforts to build bridges through communications with the Arabian Peninsula,” Noureddine Ismail, editor-in chief of Al Thawra, the official Syrian newspaper, told Asharq Al-Awsat.

He said Al Sharaa’s trips abroad reinforce statements about Syria’s need to rely on Arab countries to regain the country’s pivotal role in the region.
