Iran Private Sector Eyeballs Investment Projects in Post-War Syria

As the bloody seven-year-old civil war in Syria winds down, the monumental task of rebuilding the country’s infrastructure is, and will be for a long time, the top priority in Damascus.

Iran, one of the main supporters of President Assad (besides Russia) during the bloody conflict, is now keen on doing its fair share in Syria’s post-war  reconstruction and help it return to normal.

A high-ranking delegation of Syrian trade officials and business representatives (the second delegation in three months) headed by Syria’s Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade Mohammad Samer al-Khalil met on Sunday in Tehran with private sector leaders and the  Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mohammad Eslami. On the agenda was putting in place an economic roadmap for Iran's role in Syria's reconstruction.
