Saudi Arabia and Qatar have agreed to settle Syria's $15 million arrears with the World Bank, allowing the institution to resume grants for the country's reconstruction and support for its public sector.
This move marks Saudi Arabia's first known financial involvement with Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. It is seen as a step toward Gulf Arab support for Syria, which had been delayed due to concerns over U.S. sanctions.
The countries also called for international financial institutions to resume operations in Syria, helping the country access funds for key developmental sectors.
