Baghdad:SANA Syrian diplomatic sources have firmly denied that any Syrian military forces have been sent to Yemen. They emphasized that Syria’s immediate priorities are centered on enhancing internal security, pursuing reconstruction, and achieving economic recovery.

According to Iraqi News Agency, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that existing military agreements with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are focused on cooperation in training, exchanging expertise, and military consultation, all aimed at serving the national interests of both countries.

The sources further clarified that the agreement with Saudi Arabia primarily involves training military forces and building their capabilities. Coordination visits from Saudi Arabia to Syria are anticipated to commence next month. It was also noted that this collaboration might evolve into a joint defense agreement or Syria’s potential accession to the ‘Mecca Alliance,’ subject to shared interests. The sources reiterated that any claims of deploying Syrian military forces to Yemen are unfounded, as the country’s focus remains on internal matters such as security and economic development.
