Syria receives nearly 1 million barrels of Saudi crude

Syria has received nearly 1 million barrels of crude oil from Saudi Arabia, the Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported .
A Saudi oil tanker arrived at Syria’s Baniyas with the second and final shipment of a grant provided by Saudi Arabia to support Syria’s energy sector.

In September, the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) said it would grant Syria 1.65 million barrels of crude oil.

Saudi Arabia and other regional powers have been renewing ties with Syria after the ousting of former president Bashar al-Assad, ramping up financial aid and reconstruction support as part of broader regional normalization efforts.
