The visit of the Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, to Damascus yesterday (Tuesday) and his meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad reflects the keenness and interest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support the efforts made to reach a political solution to the Syrian crisis that ends all its repercussions and preserves the country's unity, security and stability. and her Arab identity.
This visit, the first by a Saudi official in about 12 years, comes within the framework of a continuous Arab movement that aims to return Syria to its Arab surroundings, the results of which will appear soon with the upcoming Arab Summit, and within the framework of the growing realization that the crisis cannot continue without political solutions to end it. Which exacerbates the suffering of the Syrian people.
There is no doubt that the announcement that the Damascus talks dealt with the necessary steps to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of the Syrian crisis that achieves national reconciliation, and contributes to the return of Syria to its Arab surroundings and the resumption of its natural role, reaffirms Riyadh’s approach in seeking to “zero” the problems of the region, and the relentless pursuit of achieving security and stability for the people of the region.
Certainly, the diplomacy of exchanging visits and overcoming problems would enhance what the Kingdom seeks in everything that would serve the issues of Arab countries, and in light of the general trend in the Middle East region towards calm and peace and finding political solutions to crises and outstanding files.
