The announcement came in a joint statement signed in New York by Bahrain's United Nations Ambassador Tawfiq Mansoor and an unnamed deputy Dominican permanent representative at the UN.
The news agency explains that the decision was made due to the "joint interest in reinforcing bilateral friendship relations in all fields, based on mutual respect and sovereignty and territorial integrity of both states as per UN conventions and international law.
