Speaking during a panel discussion at the ninth edition of the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Al-Sharaa revealed that major Saudi companies have already commenced projects worth $7 billion, while leading Qatari firms have begun investing in the Damascus Airport and in power generation projects totalling 5,000 megawatts.
He stressed that Syria, having regained its regional position, now serves as a key pillar of regional stability, noting that the country currently enjoys strong and constructive relations with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey.
