The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed the Kingdom's profound concern over the recent military escalation in Al-Fasher City of Sudan’s North Darfur area.

The Ministry reiterated in a statement issued on Sunday the Kingdom's call for all involved parties to abide by the outcomes of the Jeddah talks, which seek to serve the interests of the Sudanese people by hastening an agreement on a ceasefire and resolving the crisis through political dialogue.

Such measures are crucial to safeguarding Sudan’s unity and ensuring the security of its people and resources, said the statement.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
