The land link between Riyadh and the Syrian capital Damascus, which is scheduled to start soon, aims to strengthen economic relations and move investment cooperation from the stage of understandings to the stage of actual implementation. Saudi Investment Minister Khalid al-Falih explained that Saudi Arabia will implement the land link between Riyadh and Damascus soon, adding that eight agreements with Syria have been activated so far worth 8 billion riyals (2.13 billion dollars).
The announcement of the suspension of the Riyadh-Syria land link has sparked an outcry from Saudi ministers and officials. The announcement of the Kingdom's intention to implement a land link between Riyadh and Damascus has aroused the interest of Saudis eager to visit Damascus on a short and enjoyable trip, as talk of this project has sparked widespread interaction on social networking sites, but no official details about the project that Riyadh intends to implement as part of its efforts to support the recovery of the Syrian economy.
Riyadh's intention to implement a land link between Riyadh and Damascus has not been released.
