Diplomatic relations with Syria: Saudi Arabia to invite Assad to Arab leaders summit • FRANCE 24

Reuters is reporting that Saudi Arabia plans to invite Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to May's Arab League summit in Riyadh. Such an invitation would formally end Syria's regional isolation. Syria's government has been politically shunned for more than a decade because of its role in the nation's brutal civil war. But in the past months there has been increased Arab engagement with the Assad regime. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan will travel to Damascus in coming weeks to hand Assad a formal invitation to attend the summit scheduled for May 19, two of the sources said. The Saudi government's communication office and the foreign ministries of both countries did not respond to requests for comments. FRANCE 24's International Affairs commentator Douglas Herbert tells us more.

Who cares about the US n its allies? Lol 😂

[KazimierzSurma]

The USA still dictates to sovereign countries what to do and how to behave? Hopefully, not for so long from now on.

[iqbalsohel]

[AhmedAli-woqy]

AMERICA and Western varsels "WE DONT WANT PEACE. FOREVER

Assad saved Syria from American freedom that they brought in Iraq, Afghanistan and more importantly in Libya
some people would thank Assad in the future for this

This analyst failed to realized the region is moving to a situation where the “West”
Is less important in its(region) calculus.

A peace between Iran and Saudi (thanks to China), if cemented by strong trade and economic links, will reset the region and bring stability and prosperity.

It's the ARAB LEAGUE, not the WEST'S ARAB LEAGUE! Although I fear for ISRAEL...

[mrchoudhury]

Love Russia to establish peace in middle east...

[tribeman]

[adamkabir]

He's talking as if the west would matter in the next 10 years or so t😅😂

[LordLebu]

God bless Assad. French atrocities in Africa will be answered with strength.

[samsabini]

Why don't they explain why Assad chooses to be a dictator? And why don't they explain the role of Al-Qaeda in Syria why?

Show me the company you keep and I will tell you what you are...
Words my grandfather would repeat on almost any occasion.
Wise man my grandfather...a fact I only truly come to terms with the older I get...

[messoussiahmed]

du moment que tes voisins t'accepte l'avis de ceux qui souhaitent déstabiliser la région depuis des siècle n'a pas d’intérêt la 13 croisades est bientôt terminée

It seems as if you are living in the past. it seems as if most countries are moving to make different friends. The world has moved on from the west, and we need a concept that things are not the way they use to be. the question is, how did we get to this point

[dawuduhaneef]

Your discription of Assad is actually a discription of ALL Arabs leaders. Please get real.
