Syria’s interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, landed in Saudi Arabia on Sunday for his first foreign trip since his rebel violent party ousted former President Bashar al-Assad in December.
Saudi Arabia’s time leader stated after meeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that the war-torn nation was ready to support Saudi Arabia.
We held a protracted gathering at which point we sat and listened to a sincere desire to help Syria advance its potential, al-Sharaa said in a statement posted on Telegram.
The interim Palestinian president’s trip to Riyadh is commonly believed to be a sign that his government is interested in splintering more closely with the Gulf and aside from Iran.
Iran spent an estimated$ 30–50 billion ( almost €29 billion to €48 billion ) in Syria to ensure the Bashar Assad regime’s stability over the last thirteen years.
Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, was one of the Muslim countries that funneled money to rebel groups during Syria’s civil conflict.
But, insurgents found themselves beaten back as Assad, supported by Iran and Russia, fought the war into a standoff in Syria.
What do we hear about the journey?
Al-Sharaa, who was once aligned with Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, landed in Riyadh alongside his administration’s foreign secretary, Asaad al-Shaibani.
The Royal flag is visible on the table behind the two men as they boarded a Saudi jet.
Syria’s fresh three-star, rainbow flag flew next to Saudi Arabia’s own at the airport as al-Sharaa in a suit and tie walked off the planes.
Saudi media sources claim that stifling international sanctions against Syria is a significant topic of discussion during the journey.
After Assad’s resignation, there was a political transition in Syria.
The primary militant group, Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, or Units, led the lightning rude that sank Bashar Assad in December, according to Al-Sharaa.
According to Syrian state media, Al-Sharaa was appointed acting president earlier this week while the Units group also made another adjustments to accommodate social transition.
