Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani said on Monday that he received an invitation from his Saudi counterpart to visit the Kingdom, making it the destination of his first official foreign visit since his appointment to his post.

In a post on the X platform, he revealed that he received the invitation from Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abullah and that he was “honored to represent his country” during the official visit.

Shibani added that the “new Syria welcomes all Arab and foreign delegations. We are opening a new historic chapter that connects Syria’s past to its present and closes the chapter of boycott during the rule of the former regime.”

Hours earlier, head of Syria’s new administration Ahmed al-Sharaa underscored to Al-Arabiya television the importance of Saudi Arabia in Syria’s future.

“Saudi Arabia will play a major role,” he stressed, highlighting the recent “very positive” Saudi statements on Syria.

Saudi Arabia is seeking Syria’s stability, he added, noting the major economic opportunities available in his country.
