Ahmed al-Sharaa, the newly appointed President of Syria's transitional government, is visiting Saudi Arabia for two days to discuss opportunities for enhancing relations between the two nations. This visit marks his first foreign trip following his recent appointment. Al-Sharaa's leadership comes after significant political changes in Syria, including the offensive against the previous leader Bashar al-Assad. The discussions in Riyadh are expected to focus on investment opportunities and the potential lifting of international sanctions, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s emerging role in Syria’s political landscape.
As President, al-Sharaa has the authority to form a temporary legislative council for the transitional phase, which will operate until a new constitution is adopted.
Al-Sharaa stated that Saudi Arabia will certainly play a significant role in Syria's future, highlighting potential investment opportunities for neighboring countries.
During a news conference, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, noted their commitment to securing the lifting of sanctions imposed during al-Assad's rule.
King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent congratulatory messages to al-Sharaa, wishing him success in his new role as President.
