"His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, received a cable of thanks from the newly elected President of Iran, His Excellency Masoud Pezeshkian, in response to the King's congratulatory message," the BNA, the official news agency of Bahrain said in a news item on Saturday.
Pezeshkian also emphasized his desire to strengthen friendly relations between the two countries.
King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa was one of dozens of heads of state in the world that felicitated the Iranian president-elect upon his election win in a runoff on July 5th.
He won the snap election that was held 50 days after former president Ebrahim Raeisi was martyred in a copter crash in northwest Iran on May 19.
