Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat is due to arrive in Damascus on Tuesday on the first visit by a Saudi official since the start of Syria’s conflict, the Syrian regime’s information ministry said.
“Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan is arriving at Damascus international airport today on an official visit to Syria,” the ministry said in a statement.
It said the Saudi minister was due to arrive in the afternoon.
The visit comes less than a week after Syrian regime Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad visited Saudi Arabia, also on the first such visit since the start of Syria’s conflict in 2011.
