Syria has decided to reopen its diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported late this evening.
“The Syrian Arab Republic has decided to resume the activities of its diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia,” SANA reported citing an Interior Ministry source.
Shortly after Saudi Arabia’s announcement earlier today, the Syrian Foreign Ministry announced that it too would resume the work of its diplomatic mission in the Gulf country, according to SANA.
The two countries began discussions on reopening consular services in March.
Today’s decision is also taken in view of the pan-Arab summit that will take place in Saudi Arabia on May 19.
Arab League head Ahmed Abdul Yate said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad can attend the upcoming summit if he wants. However, it has not yet been confirmed that Riyadh has sent him an invitation.
