Saudi Arabia and Qatar to support salaries of Syrian state workers
Saudi Arabia and Qatar will give joint financial support to pay salaries of Syrian state employees, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud said on Saturday, according to Reuters. 'The kingdom will provide with Qatar joint financial support to state employees in Syria,' Prince Faisal said during a press conference in Damascus alongside Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani. He did not say how much money would be provided. Qatar had earlier agreed to fund parts of Syria's public sector. Prince Faisal's visit to Damascus comes shortly after the United States unexpectedly lifted sanctions on Syria's Islamist-led government, which replaced former president Bashar al-Assad in December. US President Donald Trump made the decision during a visit to the region, saying it came at the request of Saudi Arabia's crown prince. The European Union has also recently removed its economic sanctions on Syria. Prince Faisal said Saudi Arabia played a role in helping to lift those sanctions and would continue supporting Syria's recovery. 'We will remain one of the key partners in Syria's path towards economic reconstruction,' he said. He added that he was joined by a senior economic delegation to discuss cooperation in different areas with Syrian officials. In the coming days, Saudi business representatives will travel to Syria to explore investment opportunities in sectors including energy, agriculture, and infrastructure, he said.

Price of commercial LPG cylinder slashed by ₹24, effective June 1
Oil marketing companies announced on Saturday that the prices of commercial LPG gas cylinders will be reduced by ₹24 from June 1, making the retail sale price ₹1723.50. In Delhi, the retail price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder will now be ₹1,723.50. In April, the price of commercial 19 kilogram LPG gas cylinders were reduced to ₹1,762. Prices had also been slashed by ₹7 in February but were hiked again by ₹6 in March, 2025. The prices for domestic LPG domestic cylinders remained unchanged. The new price adjustment will be positive news for commercial establishments as well as small businesses, including restaurants, hotels, and others, that rely heavily on LPG for their operations. Also Read: Commercial LPG gas cylinder price hiked by ₹6: Check latest city-wise rates In India, around 90 per cent of LPG consumption is used for household cooking, while the remaining 10 per cent is used in industrial, commercial, and automotive sectors. LPG prices will have variations from state to state based on local taxes and transportation costs. The BJP-led Union government had increased the LPG domestic cylinder price by ₹50 in March after global crude oil prices rose due to tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump. India's policy mandates that the natural gas produced in the country be priced 10 per cent of the crude basket. The average cost of the Indian crude basket fell to $64.5 a barrel in May 2025, which is the lowest in over three years. LPG losses incurred by oil marketing companies are expected to decrease by around 45 per cent in the financial year 2026 if crude oil prices remain stable at $65 per barrel. Over the last ten years, the number of domestic LPG consumers has doubled, reaching approximately 33 crores as of April 1, 2025.
