Manama, Dec 28 (IBNS): Bahrain on Friday said at present the work at its embassy in the Syrian capital Damascus is going on.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces that work at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Bahrain in the Syrian Arab Republic is going on whilst the Embassy of the Syrian Arab Republic to the Kingdom of Bahrain is carrying out its duties and flights connecting the two countries are operational without interruption," the country's foreign ministry said in a statement.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms the Kingdom’s keenness on the continuity of its relations with the Syrian Arab Republic and stresses the significance of enhancing and activating the Arab role in order to maintain Syria's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and avert the hazards of regional interference in its internal affairs and progress," it said.
Bahrain made the announcement just a day after the United Arab Emirates re-opened its embassy in Damascus.
It had remained closed for seven years due to the civil war in Syria which started in 2011.
