MBS receives Syrian president in Riyadh

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh on Tuesday, as the Syrian leader made an official visit to the Kingdom amid deepening ties between the two countries.

Al-Sharaa arrived in Riyadh earlier on Tuesday accompanied by Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and was received at King Khalid International Airport by Riyadh Governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar and other Saudi officials.

The meeting comes as Saudi Arabia has emerged as a key regional supporter of Syria’s new government following the ouster of longtime president Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
