KABUL (Pajhwok): Syria’s translational President Ahmad Al-Sharaa is set to travel to Saudi Arabia on his first foreign trip after taking office.
Al Jazeera reported, citing a source, Al-Sharaa would be in Saudi Arabia for two days. He is expected to discuss bolstering relations between the two countries.
As president, al-Sharaa has been authorised to form a temporary legislative council which will carry out its task until a new constitution is adopted.
Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had sent a congratulatory message to al-Sharaa after his appointment and wished him success.
Last month, al-Sharaa told Al Arabiya TV that Saudi Arabia “will certainly have a large role in Syria’s future”, pointing to “a big investment opportunity for all neighbouring countries”.
