Dubai, Feb. 6 (SANA) A Syrian government delegation met with Khalaf Al Habtoor, chairman of the UAE-based Al Habtoor Group, on Thursday to discuss economic cooperation and new investment projects in Syria.
During the meeting at the Habtoor Grand Hotel in Dubai, Syria’s Finance Minister Mohammed Yisr Barnieh, Central Bank Governor Abdulkader Husrieh, and Investment Authority Director-General Talal al-Hilali outlined upcoming investment plans and opportunities across multiple sectors. They reiterated Syria’s support for serious investments and offered measures to ensure stable project launches.
Al Habtoor emphasized his commitment to responsible investment in Syria and to supporting reconstruction efforts. He highlighted the importance of partnership and investment protection to promote sustainable development that benefits both the economy and society.
