The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the agreement was signed following talks held in Riyadh on Wednesday between Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
During the meeting, the two leaders discussed recent developments in the region and the serious threats that a potential military escalation could pose to regional and international security and stability, the safety of international shipping, the continuity of energy supplies and global economic stability.
