Gulf states take lead in Syria’s reconstruction
Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa capped his fourth to the Gulf with a state visit to Kuwait, consolidating the Gulf’s emerging role as the gatekeeper of Syria’s reintegration.
I am Francesco Schiavi, your new Al-Monitor Gulf author.
In today's edition we explore Gulf states taking the lead on Syria's economic recovery, a massive defense deal between Kuwait and UAE’s EDGE Group, and how Saudi Arabia is preparing to avoid heat-related deaths, as were experienced at last year's hajj.
We explore that and much more.
Thanks for reading,
Francesco
