Bahrain's state-run news agency reports that the tiny Gulf state is getting ready to open an embassy in Baghdad.
The Bahrain News Agency was quoting Foreign Minister Sheik Khaled bin Ahmed Al Khalifa as saying the island kingdom "is in the phase of naming an ambassador" to Baghdad.
Bahrain would be the second Gulf country to announce sending an ambassador to Iraq since Saddam Hussein's fall following the United Arab Emirates.
On Thursday, Emirates' foreign minister announced in Baghdad that his nation is to send an ambassador next week. Many countries have diplomatic missions but no ambassador in Baghdad.
The statement did not say who the upcoming ambassador would be, or when he will go to Baghdad, adding that the location of the embassy as yet to be determined.
