Riyadh (Agencies): The president of the Syrian Arab Republic, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, arrived in Saudi Arabia on Sunday for his first foreign trip since taking office, local media reported.
Accompanied by the country’s foreign minister, Asaad Hassan Al-Shaibani, Al-Sharaa is set to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.
Al-Sharaa became president after the toppling of the regime of Bashar Assad in December last year.
Last month, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, visited Damascus and said the Kingdom was engaged in talks with the US and European partners to help lift economic sanctions imposed on the Syrian Arab Republic that have left the country’s economy decimated.
