Syrian President Bashar Assad called for strengthening Arab unity following his meeting with visiting Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Alzayani. Bahrain is the host of this year’s Arab League Summit, to be held mid-May, and has invited the Syrian leader to attend.
“President Assad welcomed Bahrain’s efforts to ensure success of the scheduled meeting,” the Syrian Presidency wrote on its Telegram channel, Tass reports. “The Syrian leader called for consolidating Arab unity amid the dangerous developments in order to reach stability in the region.”
