A technical team arrived in Damascus to start the reopening of the Saudi embassy on Saturday.

The decision comes after Saudi Arabia's decision to resume operations of its diplomatic relations following Syria's return to the Arab League.

The Saudi technical team, headed by Ghazi Al Anzi, met Assistant Foreign Minister Dr Ayman Susan and other officials at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Damascus.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said that the visit implements “the decision of the kingdom to resume the work of its diplomatic mission in Syria”.
