Turkish business community eager to tap Syria's economic potential

ANKARA — Turkiye's business community, in collaboration with government institutions, has launched initiatives to aid Syria's recovery, focusing on rebuilding the war-torn country's devastated economic structure.

Earlier last week, government officials and business leaders convened in the Turkish capital Ankara to discuss actionable plans for Syria's reconstruction and economic development.

"We aim to reestablish trade routes with Syria and empower Syrian businesses to realize their potential," said Mustafa Uyar, a businessman from Gaziantep, a city near the border with Syria.
