According to Khamis, according to the order of Bashshar Al-Assad, the government acts on many fronts, including restoring industrial and agricultural production, solving problems that impede the powerful beginning of domestic and foreign investment activities. Joint agreements that are signed with friendly and allied countries in the economic and investment spheres are aimed at activating Syrian exports and meeting the country's needs for modern technologies.
Khamis pointed out that the government is working to strengthen political, economic and cultural ties with the entire freedom-loving world.
