According to CoinMeta, Saudi Arabia and Syria signed a cooperation agreement between their respective ministries of defense on the 4th. The agreement was signed during the visit of Syrian Transitional Government President Ahmed al-Shara to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, but the specific details have not yet been made public. On that day, al-Shara met with Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, marking their second meeting in Saudi Arabia in less than a month. Syria began to carefully consider providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia last month. At the time of the agreement signing, Yemeni Houthi militants continued to launch missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia is seeking support from the United States, Europe, and various Middle Eastern countries for both offensive and defensive purposes.
