Center’s agreement aims at combating desertification

RIYADH: Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir said Saturday the US decision to lift sanctions on Syria is a great opportunity for the country’s recovery. 

Al-Jubeir made the remarks as he delivered Saudi Arabia’s speech at the 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad.  

He described the announcement made by US President Donald Trump in Riyadh last week, who promised to remove sanctions on Syria, “as a great opportunity that supports the recovery, development, reconstruction, and prosperity in Syria.” 

Arab leaders meeting at an annual summit in Baghdad were trying to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and promised to contribute to the reconstruction of the territory once the war stops.

In his speech, Al-Jubeir stressed that Saudi Arabia supports Lebanon's efforts to restrict the ownership of weapons to the state. 

He also noted that the kingdom continues to exert efforts to achieve a complete ceasefire between the warring parties in Sudan.
