Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been supportive of finding a political solution to it, as it believes that the stability and security of Syria will lead to an accelerated end to the crisis at home, contribute to the return of refugees to their regions, and provide the appropriate environment for humanitarian aid to reach all regions of the country.
The Kingdom's leadership takes over the Arab issues out of keenness and interest in everything that would serve the issues of the Arab countries, and in light of the general trend in the Middle East region towards calm and peace and finding political solutions to the region's crises, Riyadh invited the Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Al-Miqdad to discuss the efforts made to reach a political solution. The Syrian crisis preserves the country's unity, security, stability, Arab identity, and territorial integrity, and reflects Saudi Arabia's keenness to support efforts to reach a political solution to the crisis.
The increasing Saudi awareness of the importance of finding a way to end the current crisis in Syria and the inability to continue the crisis without political solutions to end it stems from its belief that the continuation of the crisis without treatment will exacerbate the suffering of the Syrian people, in addition to that the political solution will support the existing efforts to combat terrorism and eliminate terrorist organizations. threats to the security of Syria and the Arab countries, stop drug smuggling and trafficking to the countries of the region, and extend the control of state institutions over their lands to end the presence of armed militias and foreign interventions.
The Syrian Foreign Minister's visit to the Kingdom contributed to strengthening joint action to implement the necessary steps to achieve a comprehensive political settlement to the Syrian crisis that would end all its repercussions, achieve national reconciliation, and contribute to Syria's return to its Arab surroundings and the preservation of its Arab identity and unity.
The resumption of consular work and the return of flights between the Kingdom and Syria will constitute a practical solution to the many problems and difficulties faced by some citizens of the two countries and will enhance communication between the peoples of the two countries. The Kingdom will also continue to provide all forms of support to the brotherly Syrian people as an extension of its humanitarian efforts and assistance to millions of Syrian brothers and refugees.
