The new leader of Syria went to Saudi Arabia on the first foreign tour


Syrian interim president Ahmed al-Sharah arrived in Saudi Arabia on Sunday. This is his first foreign visit to Syria after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad, state media reported.

Saudi officials welcomed Sharaat, including Foreign Minister Asad al-Shaibani. Saudi Arabia's state broadcast Al-Ikhwaria has released a video of their arrival.

The broadcast media reported that Sharara is expected to meet Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. However, no specific time was mentioned when the meeting would be held.

Syrian state news agency Sana said Shara and Shaibani will meet with Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh. The medium did not give details about the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Syrian President has released a picture through the office X. As seen in the picture, Shara and Shibani travel to Saudi Arabia on a private plane. It was also mentioned in the post that their first formal tour 'was.

After the fall of the Assad government in December, Shara took over as the interim president of Syria. Under his leadership, the rebels had fallen in just a five -day expedition. Saudi King Salman and King Mohammed bin Salman congratulated Sharair appointment.

The Syrian new administration depends on the support of the rich Gulf countries for the restructuring of the war -torn country and the restoration of the economy. In an interview to Saudi Channel Al-Arabia last December, Sharah said that Saudi Arabia would definitely play an important role in the restructuring of Syria and it was a great opportunity for the country to invest.

He also said he was born in Saudi Arabia. His father worked there. He spent the first seven years of his life in Saudi Arabia.

Rabah Saif Allam, analyst at the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, believes that Saudi Arabia is playing an important role in re-connecting the new Syria with the Arab world and introducing the international arena. He also said that Saudi Arabia would benefit directly from Syria's stability.

“Keeping Syria away from Iran's influence is a strategic advantage for Saudi Arabia,” Saif said.

Currently Syria is trying to cut international sanctions to restore their economy. In 9, the United States imposed sanctions on Syria as a “terrorist state”. Later in the 21st, the ban was further tightened on the allegations of oppression in the anti-government movement.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan visited Syria last month. At that time, he promised to support the sanctions imposed on Syria. Prince Faisal said, “We are actively discussing the countries including the United States and the European Union and receiving positive messages.”

Since the fall of Assad, the new Syrian government has been holding diplomatic meetings after another. Earlier on January 5, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani of Qatar visited Damascus. He emphasized the need to form a representative government to ensure the stability of Syria and to advance the country's development and restructuring projects.
