Damascus, (SANA) – Minister of Transport Dr. Yarub Badr affirmed on Wednesday that the facilitations provided by the Syrian government to Arab and foreign investment encourage the involvement of the private sector in the Ministry's various projects.

During his meeting with a delegation from the Arab-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Minister Badr underlined investment opportunities in the fields of air, maritime and land transport in Syria, pointing out to the successful examples of joint projects between the private sector and the Ministry of Transport, particularly in Lattakia and Tartous harbors.
