Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said arrived on Monday in Bahrain on a two-day official visit.

His visit comes at the invitation of Bahrain's King Hamad Bin Issa Al-Khalifah.

The talks between the two officials are set to tackle cooperation at various levels between the two countries, and the means to develop them to better levels.

The Omani Royal Court announced the visit in an earlier statement and said that it “aims at consolidating historic ties between the Sultanate of Oman and the brotherly Bahrain Kingdom out of their leadership’s keenness to strengthen them,” and advance cooperation at various levels to serve the interests of both peoples.

The Bahraini Royal Court said that the Bahraini King will receive the Sultan and the accompanying delegation upon their arrival in the country on Monday.

Qatar will reopen its embassy in Syria on Tuesday after it was closed for more than 13 years, the Gulf country's foreign ministry said on Sunday, a week after Bashar al-Assad was removed from power.

Qatar's embassy in Damascus has been shut since July 2011 when it withdrew its ambassador from Damascus after a series of deadly crackdowns by Assad's regime on protesters - violence that led to the 13-year-long civil war.

Doha in recent years did not join efforts by several Arab countries to mend relations with Assad's government and re-establish diplomatic relations with Damascus.

A lightning advance by the opposition, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group led to the ouster of Assad on Dec. 8.

Qatar's foreign ministry said in a statement its decision to reopen the embassy reflects its support for the Syrian people and their "struggle to attain their legitimate rights for a dignified life".
