Council of Representatives Speaker Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam has emphasized that the Bahraini government is open to improving bilateral relations with Iran. As a start of mending relations, Al Musallam noted, there have been talks of reopening the air routes between the two countries.
The Speaker was speaking as he met with Mojtaba Rezakhah, head of the delegation of the Shura Council of the Republic of Islamic Iran, at the 146th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), which is currently being held at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre.
In the meeting, Rezakhah highlighted the similarities that both countries share in terms of their cultural, historical, and religious background. The members of the Iranian parliament were in agreement with the attendees from the Bahraini parliament in expanding the level of parliamentary relations and that exchanging delegations is welcomed.
The restoration of diplomatic ties has been inspired by the recent China-brokered deal to resolve ruptured relations between Tehran and Riyadh, marking an end to a seven-year conflict between both countries and reopening their embassies within two months.
