Syria, Saudi Arabia talk humanitarian cooperation

KABUL (Pajhwok): On his first foreign trip as Syria’s translational president, Ahmad Al-Sharaa has met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in Riyadh, says a media report.

Reuters reported, citing a statement, Al Sharaa discussed with Mohammad bin Salman humanitarian and economic cooperation, as well as future plans in the areas of energy, technology, education and health.

The Saudi state news agency said the two sides exchanged views on improving bilateral relations and regional developments.

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”.
