BEIRUT, Lebanon, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Syrian President Ahmad Sharaa said Wednesday that his country has opened up to the world and attracted investments worth $28 billion since the toppling of President Bashar Assad in December.
Speaking during a panel at the Future Investment Initiative conference in the Saudi city of Riyadh, Sharaa said Syria constitutes a "fundamental pillar" of the region's stability.
"Today, Syria has opened up to the world and begun a new chapter in a short period of time," he said during the session that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attended.
He said that his war‑ravaged country had managed to regain its regional and international standing in just 10 months, with the support of many countries, most notably Saudi Arabia.
