“The two sides also discussed the serious developments in the region and the importance of concerted efforts and enhanced joint coordination to preserve security and stability in the region,” it said.
Earlier, Bahrain’s Defence Ministry said its military intercepted and destroyed three missiles and a number of drones fired by Iran.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement on Wednesday, also slammed the targeting of Kuwait International Airport and several vital facilities, which resulted in the death of one person and injuries to others.
The Kingdom reiterated its categorical rejection of these assaults that undermine the sovereignty of brotherly Gulf states, constituting a clear violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and affirms that such violations jeopardise international efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in the region.
The attacks marked one of the more severe tests of an April 8 ceasefire, which has largely held despite sporadic strikes after more than a month of war sparked by the US and Israeli attack on Iran.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attacks targeting US bases in Kuwait were launched in response to what it described as an American strike on Qeshm Island in southern Iran.
