Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa to visit Saudi Arabia on Sunday

Ahmed al-Sharaa, the transitional government’s de facto leader, is scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia for his first official trip abroad.

Al-Sharaa will spend two days in Saudi Arabia, according to sources in Syria, and will talk about improving relations between the two nations.

After opposition forces launched an offensive against Bashar al-Assad in December that ended his rule, Al-Sharaa was appointed.

Al-Sharaa has also been given the power to establish a temporary legislative body during the transitional period so that it can carry out its duties until a new constitution is approved.

Salman bin Abdulaziz, the ruler of Saudi Arabia, and Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s prince, addressed al-Sharaa congratulations and congratulate him on his election as president.

Last month, al-Sharaa told Al Arabiya TV that Saudi Arabia “will certainly have a large role in Syria’s future”, pointing to “a big investment opportunity for all neighbouring countries”.

Last week, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan visited Damascus, promising help to secure the lifting of international sanctions imposed during al-Assad’s rule.

Prince Faisal stated in a press conference that Riyadh is “active dialogue with all relevant countries, whether the United States or the European Union, and we are hearing positive messages.”
