RIYADH — Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani in Riyadh on Wednesday to discuss bilateral relations and regional developments.

The ministers examined bilateral relations and discussed enhancing collaboration in multiple areas.

They also discussed the latest developments in the region and ongoing efforts to support security and stability.

The encounter underscores Saudi Arabia's growing engagement with the Syrian government, which has been gradually reintegrating into the Arab League after a long suspension. Both countries face common challenges related to security and economic development, and increased cooperation could signal a shift in regional alliances.
