Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa met Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Sunday during an official visit, according to Arab News.
The Syrian delegation included the Foreign Minister Assad Al-Shibani and other senior Syrian officials.
Kuwaiti-Syrian Relations
During the talks, Al-Sharaa and Al-Sabah discussed the Syrian-Kuwaiti relations and explored new ways to further boost the bilateral relations.
Both leaders also delved into the latest regional and international developments.
Al-Sabah stressed Kuwait’s unwavering support for the Syrian unity and sovereignty.
After the fall of Al-Assad’s regime in December, Kuwait restored its ties with Syria and even sent its Foreign Minister Abdullah Al-Yahya to visit Damascus on Dec. 30.
Consequently, Kuwaiti authorities launched the first flights of a humanitarian air bridge to Syria to alleviate the suffering of Syrians.
Kuwaiti represents the fifth stop of Al-Sharaa’s Gulf tour after Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
Since the fall of Al-Assad, the new Syrian government has been attempting to build strong relations with Arab and Western countries notably after the US has lifted its sanctions on Syria.
Saudi-Syrian Relations
In February, Al-Sharaa landed in Saudi Arabia for his first foreign trip since taking power. He met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and discussed the bilateral relations.
After the meeting, al-Sharaa said that the meeting with MBS had shown that Saudi Arabia had “a genuine desire to support Syria in building its future”.
Emirati-Syrian Relations
In April, Al-Sharaa held talks with his Emirati Counterpart Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan during his official visit to Abu Dhabi.
The Emirati President emphasized the UAE’s support for Syria’s efforts to rebuild its future and maintain stability, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
Qatari-Syrian Relations
Furthermore, Al-Sharaa visited Doha in April for his first official visit to Qatar, a key backer of the country’s post-Assad administration.
Importantly, the visit marked a deepening of diplomatic ties between both nations and perfectly aligns with a wave of regional engagement with Syria’s new government.
Bahraini-Syrian Relations
Meanwhile, Syria’s President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and a high-ranking delegation visited Bahrain in May and met King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa at the Sakhir Palace in Manama.
Both leaders discussed Syrian-Bahraini relations and ways of fostering the bilateral ties along with other regional affairs and means of supporting Syria’s security and stability.
