Abdullah Saleh al-Harees, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Syria, affirmed that Syrian-Saudi relations are experiencing a significant resurgence and are poised to improve steadily. He attributed this positive trajectory to the leadership of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and President Bashar al-Assad.
