Egyptian-Syrian partnership aims to restart stalled factories

The members of the Egyptian trade delegation participating in the meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Sunday in Damascus said that the visit discussed a partnership to restart stalled factories and rehabilitate Syrian infrastructure.

Cooperation with Damascus is not viewed solely from the perspective of investment opportunities, the delegation assured, but rather as an investment in the stability of the entire region, given the similarity of challenges and overlapping interests between both countries.

The head of the General Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Ahmed al-Wakil, affirmed that Egyptian-Syrian relations represent one of the historical pillars of joint Arab action.

During the meeting, Sharaa said that Syrian-Egyptian relations constitute a strategic pillar of shared Arab security, emphasizing that this relationship is not a political luxury, but rather a historical and strategic obligation.

He called for placing it on the right track to serve the interests of both countries and the Arab nation as a whole.

“Egyptian companies are the most deserving of contributing to the reconstruction of Syria,” he added.
