Saudi Arabia to Begin Work on Land Link with Syria, Minister Confirms

Saudi Arabia’s Investment Minister announced that work will soon begin on a new land connection with Syria, signaling a major step toward strengthening economic and regional integration between the two countries.

The project, which aims to establish a new transportation and trade route, is expected to boost the movement of goods and people between Saudi Arabia and Syria for the first time in over a decade.

Minister Khalid Al-Falih made the announcement during a regional investment forum, describing the initiative as part of broader efforts to enhance connectivity across the Middle East.

The planned land corridor reflects the latest progress in diplomatic and economic normalization following the restoration of bilateral relations between Riyadh and Damascus.

Officials say feasibility studies and cross-border infrastructure work are already in advanced planning stages.
