The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Sunday that Jordan will host a tripartite meeting with the United States and Syria on Tuesday, August 12, to discuss ways to support Syria's reconstruction.

Representing Damascus will be interim Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani, while the United States will be represented by envoy Thomas Barrack, according to the ministry.

World Bank approves $146 million for Syria

In a statement on June 25, the World Bank confirmed it had approved World Bank aid to Syria amounting to $146 million to help restore “reliable and affordable electricity supply” and support the country’s economic recovery.

Jean-Christophe Carret, the World Bank’s Regional Director for the Middle East, said the project “represents the first step in the World Bank’s plan to increase support for Syria in its path toward recovery and development.”

Carret emphasized that among Syria’s urgent reconstruction needs, the rehabilitation of Syria's electricity sector stands out as a vital investment to improve living conditions for the Syrian people.

Saudi Arabia pledges $6.4bln investment for Syria

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia revealed in July a substantial $6.4 billion investment plan in Syria, signaling the kingdom's growing engagement with the interim government led by President Ahmad al-Sharaa, as part of broader efforts to support the reconstruction of Syria following a devastating 14-year war.

The agreements, announced by Saudi Investment Minister Khalid al-Falih during a forum in Damascus, represent a significant economic lifeline for al-Sharaa, who has been working to consolidate his authority over Syria amid ongoing challenges, including recent sectarian clashes in the country's southwestern region earlier this month.

Al-Falih said the investment deals included $2.93 billion for real estate and infrastructure projects and about $1.07 billion for the telecommunications and information technology sector. The participating businesses in these investment plans include major Saudi companies such as telecommunications providers Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and GO Telecom, along with digital security firm Elm, cybersecurity company Cipher, and education technology specialist Classera.

The Saudi minister additionally announced that 47 agreements would be signed during the conference, involving participation from more than 100 companies.
