RIYADH — Saudi Arabia will welcome a Syrian delegation to Riyadh on Monday, led by Minister of Economy and Industry Dr. Mohammad Nidal Al-Shaar, for an official visit aimed at strengthening economic ties between the two countries.

The delegation includes representatives from both nations’ private sectors and reflects a shared commitment to enhancing regional integration and building economic bridges.

The visit follows the outcomes of last month’s Saudi-Syrian Investment Forum, which was held under the patronage of Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and brought together over 100 Saudi companies and 20 Saudi government entities.

The forum concluded with the signing of 47 investment agreements in key sectors valued at more than SR24 billion ($6.4 billion).

The deals span real estate, infrastructure, finance, ICT, energy, industry, tourism, trade, investment, and healthcare.
