Prince Mohammed also praised efforts exerted by Al-Sharaa to ensure that Syria continues on the right path, which would in turn ensure the preservation of Syria’s unity and territorial integrity, the strengthening of its national unity, the solidarity and cohesion of all segments of the Syrian people, and the prevention of any signs of sedition aimed at destabilizing security and stability in the country.

The crown prince also stressed the importance of continuing steps that Syria has taken at all levels to achieve the progress and prosperity to which the Syrian people aspire.

He reiterated the Kingdom’s firm position in supporting Syria, standing by its side, and rejecting any action that would undermine civil and social peace in its entirety.

He also stressed the need for the international community to support the Syrian government in confronting these challenges and preventing any foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs under any pretext.

Al-Sharaa expressed his gratitude to the Kingdom for its supportive stance toward Syria and the role and efforts undertaken by the crown prince to promote security and stability in Syria and the region.
