His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received a telephone call today from His Excellency President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, President of the Syrian Arab Republic. This call comes within the framework of ongoing communication between the leaderships of the two countries to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and joint cooperation.
During the call, bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Syrian Arab Republic were reviewed, and opportunities to develop cooperation in various fields to serve the interests of the two brotherly peoples were discussed. The two sides also addressed the latest developments on the regional and international scenes, the efforts being made to achieve security and stability in the region, and a number of issues of common interest.
The context of Saudi-Syrian relations and their regional importance
This contact is of paramount importance given the geopolitical shifts underway in the region, where Saudi Arabia plays a pivotal and leading role in strengthening joint Arab action. Riyadh has consistently emphasized in its foreign policy its unwavering commitment to Syria's security and stability, and its support for all efforts aimed at preserving Syria's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and fulfilling the aspirations of the Syrian people for prosperity and development.
These discussions indicate a shared desire to broaden relations, particularly in light of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which adopts an approach based on resolving regional problems and building sustainable economic and developmental partnerships with neighboring countries. The stability of Syria is a cornerstone of Arab national security, making Saudi-Syrian coordination an urgent necessity to address the security and economic challenges facing the Middle East.
Expected impact and future of cooperation
This high-level communication is expected to accelerate bilateral cooperation, particularly in economic and humanitarian matters, as well as counterterrorism and border control—issues that directly impact regional security. The contact also reflects Saudi Arabia's ongoing commitment to its role as a guarantor of regional stability and its tireless efforts to unify the Arab world in the face of escalating international challenges.
