Syria and Saudi Arabia have signed a defence cooperation agreement, alongside $403 million in loans, during a visit to Riyadh by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The deal marks a significant step in rebuilding ties between Damascus and the Gulf as Syria seeks international re-engagement after years of conflict and isolation.

Why now: Syria's reintegration into regional diplomacy and Saudi Arabia's growing role in the country are drawing international attention.
