Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa leaves Saudi Arabia's Riyadh

Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, departed Riyadh on Sunday following his first foreign visit since taking office after the change in leadership last month.

During his visit, al-Sharaa met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for talks focused on Syria’s future and regional cooperation. The meeting highlighted the evolving diplomatic engagement between Syria's interim leadership and the Gulf states.

Al-Sharaa’s visit comes amid a significant shift in Syria's political landscape, as the region adjusts to new leadership dynamics. The discussions between al-Sharaa and the Crown Prince are seen as part of a broader effort to foster regional stability and collaboration. Additional talks are expected in the coming weeks as the situation continues to develop.
