Iran Press/ West Asia: According to Iranpress, Iran's ambassador to Syria Hossein Akbari, along with an economic delegation that traveled to Damascus, met on Saturday with Mohammad Samer Al-Khalil, Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade, Abdul Qadir Jokhdar, Minister of Industries, and Fadi Al-Khalil, head of Syria's International Cooperation and Planning Organization and discussed the expansion of bilateral economic cooperation.
Samer Al-Khalil, Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade of Syria, said that joint investment projects are an important opportunity to realize the common interests of the two countries and a ground to encourage Syrian companies to cooperate with Iranian companies that have scientific and practical experience and excellent facilities and capabilities.
Abdul Qadir Jokhdar, the Minister of Industries of Syria, also said that the joint projects discussed in this meeting are related to the production of tires, tractors, and milk powder, which was previously discussed by Syrian Prime Minister Hossein Arnous during his trip to Tehran in this regard with Iranian officials.
In this connection, the Iranian ambassador also announced the willingness and readiness of many Iranian companies to work and invest in the economic sector of Syria and said that he would consult with the Syrian side to resolve economic obstacles and realize important and strategic joint projects for the benefit of both countries.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has strategic cooperation with Syria, and Tehran's support for the legitimate government of this country during the Syrian crisis and helping the Assad government in the process of fighting various terrorist groups is proof of this.
After the defeat of ISIS, the relations between Syria and Iran have now expanded and diversified, and there are clear prospects for the development of these relations in all fields.
