Saudi Arabia Says Now Is Time for Syria’s Stability and Revival

Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman said on Thursday that “it is about time for Syria to become stable,” underlining the need for its revival and for it to benefit from its own capabilities, most significantly its “brotherly people.”
He received in Riyadh a delegation from the new Syrian administration that included Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani and Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra.
Talks focused on the developments in Syria and ways to support its political transition to meet the aspirations of the people and ensure the country’s security, stability and territorial integrity.
In a post on the X platform, Prince Khalid said he held a “productive” meeting with the Syrian delegation.
“Our brothers and sisters in Syria have suffered from wars, destruction and challenging living conditions,” he added.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah also held a separate meeting with Shibani.
Shibani had arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday on his first foreign visit since assuming his post.
His accompanying delegation also included chief of intelligence Anas Khattab.
In a post on X, Shibani hoped the visit would “open a new chapter in ties” between Syria and the Kingdom.
