Türkiye is working to deepen economic and commercial ties with Syria while supporting Aleppo’s reconstruction and economic recovery, Trade Minister Omer Bolat said Friday during a visit to the city.
Bolat visited the Shaykh Najjar Industrial City, where he met industrialists and business representatives and received briefings on production activities, industrial infrastructure and commercial opportunities, according to Türkiye’s Trade Ministry.
“While strengthening Türkiye-Syria economic and commercial relations, we are developing cooperation opportunities that will contribute to Aleppo’s reconstruction and economic development,” Bolat said.
Bolat said stronger bilateral economic and trade relations would contribute to prosperity in both countries.
He emphasized the importance of measures that encourage production, investment, and exports, noting that restoring production facilities, increasing employment, and strengthening trade routes are crucial to Aleppo's economic recovery.
Bolat also described Aleppo as playing a central role in reviving the Syrian economy.
He said relations between Türkiye and Aleppo extend beyond commerce, pointing to nearly a millennium of kinship, neighborly ties and shared culture.
Following the industrial zone visit, Bolat attended a roundtable meeting with Turkish and Syrian businesspeople.
Discussions focused on bilateral trade relations, Aleppo’s economic situation and reconstruction, as well as steps to strengthen the city’s industrial and commercial infrastructure.
Bolat said efforts to revitalize Aleppo were also important for the future of the wider region.
