Arab nations make diplomatic strides towards resolving Syrian conflict.
TL;DR Summary
Saudi Arabia is hosting a regional meeting with nine Arab nations to discuss ending Syria's isolation, following a surprise visit by Syria's foreign minister. The meeting aims to overcome Gulf differences over Syria and discuss the country's suspension from the Arab League since 2011. The talks come after Saudi Arabia and Iran's landmark deal to resume ties, and Qatar and Bahrain's agreement to re-establish relations. Analysts suggest Saudi Arabia is trying to calm the region to focus on domestic projects aimed at diversifying its energy-dependent economy.
