A Saudi delegation convened with Ahmed Al-Sharaa, the head of the new Syrian administration, in Damascus on Sunday, as reported by Saudi media on Monday.
According to Al-Arabiya news channel, the delegation, led by a consultant from the royal court, met with Al-Sharaa at the People’s Palace in the Syrian capital.
Details regarding the discussions held during the meeting were not disclosed.
The broadcaster referenced a prior statement from Al-Sharaa, indicating that both Saudi Arabia and Syria are eager to establish a collaborative vision for Damascus, focusing on cooperation and economic growth.
Bashar Assad, who has been Syria’s leader for nearly 25 years, sought refuge in Russia following the takeover of Damascus by anti-regime factions on December 8, which marked the end of the Baath Party’s long-standing rule since 1963.
This shift occurred after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) forces swiftly captured significant cities in an offensive that unfolded in less than two weeks.
