Abu Dhabi, May 13 (SANA) UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade Thani Ahmed Al Zeyoudi said on Wednesday that economic relations between Syria and the United Arab Emirates were gaining momentum, particularly in trade and investment, amid growing efforts to expand bilateral cooperation.
In a post on X, Al Zeyoudi said the recent progress reflected support from the leaderships of both countries and ongoing efforts to explore partnerships that could contribute to Syria’s economic recovery.
He said he had conveyed greetings from the UAE leadership to President Ahmad al-Sharaa and discussed ways to deepen cooperation and broaden economic and development ties between the two countries.
President al-Sharaa received a senior Emirati delegation on Tuesday at the People’s Palace in Damascus, headed by Al Zeyoudi and including senior UAE officials, business representatives and business leaders.
The meeting coincided with the second day of the first Syrian-Emirati Investment Forum in Damascus, organized by the Syrian Investment Authority to discuss opportunities for trade and investment cooperation.
