Syrian–Saudi rapprochement
Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, Syrian–Saudi relations have seen noticeable progress, particularly in political and economic fields, through economic agreements and investment projects.
On September 9, 2024, Saudi Arabia announced the reopening of its embassy in Damascus at its official headquarters.
Abdullah al-horyes chargé d’affaires of the Saudi embassy, said the Kingdom had officially resumed its diplomatic work in Syria, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
This move followed the March 2023 decision by Saudi Arabia to restore ties with the former Syrian regime after more than a decade of severed relations, a break caused by Damascus’ violent response to the Syrian uprising in 2011.
On May 26, 2024, Saudi Arabia appointed Faisal bin Saud al-Majfel as ambassador in Damascus, the first such appointment since 2012.
