Riyadh, October 29 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa emphasized Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in the region and its emergence as an economic compass for investors under the leadership of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

Speaking during a session at the ninth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) Conference in Riyadh, President al-Sharaa said that the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 has transformed Saudi Arabia into a model for economic growth, stability, and development. He added that economic progress is closely linked to regional and strategic security, noting that Syria represents a key pillar for stability in the Middle East.

President al-Sharaa outlined Syria’s recent reforms and investment developments, stating that the country has entered a new phase of openness supported by friendly nations, foremost among them Saudi Arabia. He revealed that Syria attracted nearly $28 billion in investments during the first half of the year, reflecting its resilience and renewed capacity for economic recovery.

He noted that several major Saudi companies have begun investing in Syria, with projects estimated at around $7 billion, in addition to new ventures from Qatari, Emirati, and regional partners in sectors such as energy, real estate, and infrastructure.

Highlighting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, al-Sharaa said it extends beyond Saudi borders, promoting a framework of regional integration and economic interdependence:

“We see Vision 2030 not just as a national initiative, but as a comprehensive regional framework. Syria seeks to be part of this transformation through cooperation, investment, and sustainable development.”

The Syrian president also described Syria’s strategic location and resources as crucial for regional connectivity, serving as a commercial corridor between East and West. He added that the country’s gas reserves and agricultural capacity could play a significant role in supporting global supply chain stability.

President al-Sharaa underscored Syria’s diverse investment opportunities — particularly in real estate, tourism, and agriculture — and noted that recent legal reforms have made the country more attractive to international investors.

He concluded by affirming that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is moving toward unprecedented prosperity and stability, and that Syria, through cooperation and shared vision, seeks to contribute to this collective progress.
