DAMASCUS, May 10 (NNN-SANA) – The Syrian Foreign Ministry announced yesterday, the resumption of its diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia, following a reciprocal move from the kingdom.
The decision to reopen the diplomatic mission emanates from the deep ties between both countries, their people’s aspirations, and the importance of enhancing bilateral relations among Arab countries, to serve the joint Arab work, the Syrian ministry said in a statement.
The Syrian move came, after Saudi Arabia announced the reopening of its diplomatic mission in Syria earlier yesterday, indicating that both countries have normalised relations.
On Sunday, Arab foreign ministers decided, during a meeting in Cairo, to readmit Syria to the Arab League after 12 years of suspension.
On Apr 12, the Syrian Foreign Ministry announced that Syria and Saudi Arabia had agreed to resume consular services, and flights between the two countries, after the minister visited Riyadh for the first time since 2011, a prelude to restoring full diplomatic representation yesterday.
