Saudi Arabia and Qatar revealed on Sunday that they would be paying Syria’s outstanding debt to the World Bank, a move likely to make the international institution resume its support to the war-torn country.
A joint statement by the finance ministries of Saudi and Qatar said the decision to pay Syria’s nearly $15 million (€13.2m) debt to the World Bank was made during this month’s meetings in Washington by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
