Pres. Raisi says economic agenda boosting after security restored in Syria

Raisi pointed to the 15 cooperation agreements signed between the two sides and said that some of the agreements began to be implemented from the very Syria, with the Iranian officials starting the implementation process from within Iran.

He referred also to his either scheduled or unscheduled meetings with the Syrian people and talked about their respect and enthusiasm for the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
"Today, the people of Syria and the region have recognized the Islamic Republic of Iran as a strong pillar and a strong tree with deep roots in the ground and long branches in the sky, on which they can rely," the Iranian President noted.
At the formal invitation of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi arrived in Damascus on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, heading top political, cultural, and economic delegations.
The Comprehensive Program of Strategic and Long-Term Cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Syrian Arab Republic and 14 other cooperation documents were signed by the Presidents and high officials of the two countries.
Raisi made the remarks in the meeting with the Iranian and Syrian businessmen in Syria, on Thursday, where such issues were discussed as the removal of obstacles in the way of marine and aerial transits, the opening of a joint bank between the two countries, and preparing strong insurance for the businessmen.
