A Bahraini delegation, headed by Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism Zayed bin Rashid Al Zayan will pay an official visit to Israel tomorrow, Tuesday, according to Russia Today (RT).
It is scheduled that, the delegation will meet a number of senior Israeli officials in Jerusalem. They will discuss bilateral cooperation in the industry, trade, and tourism fields, with an exchange of experiences.
This is considered the second visit of an official Bahraini delegation to Israel after signing the peace deal between both countries.
It is worth mentioning that, Israel and Bahrain have agreed to open embassies soon, as the two countries look to broaden cooperation that Washington has promoted as an anti-Iran alliance and potential economic bonanza.
Last Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he will visit Bahrain soon, at the invitation of Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
Earlier this month, the Israeli parliament (Knesset) approved with an overwhelming majority the US-brokered normalization deal with Bahrain.
Addressing the Knesset after voting, Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu expected more regional countries to establish relations with Israel.
last August, UAE became the first Arab nation to normalize relations with Israel since Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994, followed by Bahrain.
