Earlier this week, Bahraini Ambassador to Moscow Ahmed Alsaati told Sputnik that Bahrain officially invited Putin to visit the country and is awaiting a response.
"An oral invitation was received following the king's visit [to Moscow], but it has not yet been considered since the king of Bahrain’s visit recently took place," Ushakov said on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.
In May, the king of Bahrain paid an official visit to Russia and held talks with the Russian president.
The Eastern Economic Forum began on Tuesday and will run through Friday. It is being hosted by the Far Eastern Federal University in Russia's Pacific coast city of Vladivostok. Sputnik is the general information partner of the EEF 2024.
