Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan arrived today, May 31, in Damascus on an official visit to Syria, along with a high-level economic delegation, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Promising Visit
The Kingdom’s delegation consists of Royal Court Advisor Mohammed bin Mazyad Al-Tuwaijri, Vice Minister of Finance Abdulmuhsen bin Saad Alkhalaf and Assistant Minister of Investment Dr. Abdullah Aldubaikhi.
Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic and Development Affairs Abdullah bin Zarah and other several officials from various sectors are also part of the delegation.
During the visit, Prince Faisal is set to hold talks with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Meanwhile, the Saudi delegation will hold a consultation session with their Syrian counterparts to explore new horizons for joint action.
These talks and discussions seek basically to support Syrian economy and achieve the aspirations of Syrian people.
Saudi-Syrian Relations
In February, Syrian President visited Saudi Arabia and expressed his intentions to build strong ties with Arab and Western governments.
Such relations have unfolded a new chapter for Syria’s diplomatic relations after the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024.
New Era
Since the fall of Al-Assad, the new Syrian government has been attempting to build strong relations with Western countries in order to alleviate the harsh sanctions of US and its allies imposed during Asaad’s rule.
Importantly, the US and the UK have recently lifted sanctions on Syria, allowing the new government to build its economy and welfare.
Currently, the new government seeks to restore relations with Western and Arab countries as well as establish new diplomatic relations to boost its stability and security.
