Saudi Arabia to come to Syria's rescue

Saudi Arabia has allocated six billion US dollars for investment in Syria, in what is seen as an endorsement of Syrian leader Ahmed al Sharaa. The money is expected to help revive the Syrian economy which was shattered by 14 years of civil war and gross mismanagement.

Agreements were signed this week in Damascus, at a Saudi-Syrian investment Forum, which was attended by the Saudi Investment Minister, Khalid al Falih.
