Syria's interim president embarked on his first international trip, landing in Saudi Arabia in a significant move that may indicate a shift in Damascus' regional alliances. The president, accompanied by the foreign minister, arrived in Riyadh on a Saudi jet, with the Saudi flag prominently displayed. This visit marks a notable step in Syria's diplomatic relations, as the two leaders discussed ways to enhance cooperation and support Syria's security and stability.
Historically, Saudi Arabia had supported insurgent groups aiming to overthrow President Bashar Assad during the Syrian conflict. However, recent developments have seen a change in dynamics, with Syria's interim president leading a successful offensive that altered the course of the war. This shift has prompted Syria to reevaluate its relationships with key allies like Iran and Russia.
