The Syrian move came after Saudi Arabia announced the continuation of its diplomatic mission in Syria earlier on Tuesday. This comes as the two countries have normalized bilateral relations and recently exchanged visits of foreign ministers.
On Sunday, Arab foreign ministers decided during a meeting in Cairo to readmit Syria to the Arab League (AL) after 12 years of suspension.
On April 12, the Syrian foreign ministry announced that Syria and Saudi Arabia had agreed to resume the consular services and air flights between the two countries, a move which was a prelude to restoring full diplomatic representation on Tuesday.
