Syrian transitional president Sara visited Saudi Arabia on the 2nd.
This is Sara's first foreign visit since taking office. Choosing Saudi Arabia as his first foreign visit may indicate a shift away from viewing Iran as the primary regional ally.
Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed held a meeting with Sara in Riyadh.
According to Saudi media reports, the two discussed improving bilateral relations and regional development, enhancing Syria's security and stability, and exploring cooperation opportunities in various fields between the two countries.
In December 2024, the "Syria Sham Liberation Armed Forces" led by Sara announced the "liberation of Damascus and overthrow of the Assad regime." On January 29 this year, Sara assumed the position of Syrian transitional president.
