Bahrain's embassy in Damascus and the Syrian diplomatic mission in Manama have been operating "without interruption", the Bahraini foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday, a day after the United Arab Emirates reopened its embassy in Syria.
The reopening of the UAE's mission was a diplomatic boost for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Other Gulf and Arab states are expected to shift their positions and normalise ties with Assad's government as concerns grow about Iran's influence in the region. Syria's membership of the Arab League was suspended seven years ago.
"The Kingdom of Bahrain has announced that work is continuing at its embassy in the brotherly Arab Republic of Syria," a statement carried by the state news agency BNA said.
It was not clear whether that meant the embassy had continued operating throughout the war, when most Gulf Arab states -- including Saudi Arabia, with which Bahrain is closely aligned -- broke off diplomatic ties.
BNA said flights had been operating between Bahrain and Syria without interruption, although again it did not say whether that had been the case throughout the war.
