This took place during a meeting in the capital Damascus between Al-Ahmad and a delegation from the Saudi Ajyal Petroleum and Energy Company, according to the official news agency SANA.
The agency reported that the meeting explored 鈥減rospects for cooperation,鈥� particularly in the areas of 鈥渁gricultural investment, the use of alternative energy and the provision of modern technologies for drilling wells to secure water and maintain irrigation projects.鈥濃�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧��

The new Syrian administration has been working to revitalize various sectors of the country to compensate for the losses sustained during the rule of the ousted Assad regime.
Bashar al-Assad, Syria鈥檚 leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia on Dec. 8, 2024, ending the Baath Party regime, which had been in power since 1963.
