The timing of the meeting is significant, as there has been talk of Saudi Arabia’s intention to restore relations with the Syrian state. According to official Saudi media, the two countries may open consulates in each other’s territories as early as April. Additionally, Reuters recently reported that Saudi Arabia plans to invite President Bashar al-Assad to attend the Arab summit hosted by Riyadh in May. If this happens, it would mark an official end to Syria’s regional isolation.
