Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to settle Syria’s World Bank debts, according to multiple sources. The move, which could relieve Syria from mounting international financial pressure, signals a potential shift in the Kingdom’s approach to regional diplomacy.
The sources claim that the Saudi government intends to clear the debt in full, as part of broader efforts to stabilize Syria’s economy, which has been severely affected by years of civil war and sanctions. This decision comes as Saudi Arabia seeks to play a more active role in addressing humanitarian issues and fostering stability in the Middle East.
While the financial details of the arrangement remain unclear, the move is expected to bolster diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Syria. Analysts suggest it could lead to further economic cooperation and a softening of international pressure on Syria.
