The private sector enters the reconstruction of Syria by setting up a business center
Vice President of the Iran-Syria Joint Chamber of Commerce: Syria is important to us because it is in the process of reconstruction and this building can still be a place for trade between Iran and Syria; Syria has good facilities that our country needs.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Ali Asghar Zabrdast said about the Iranian business center in Damascus: The Iran Chamber had bought a multi-storey building in Syria to provide to the provincial chambers. It also has a section dedicated to companies that have the capacity to operate there. As a result, a number of companies, some of which are state-owned companies, are based there. This could be a move to work closely with Syrian businessmen and economic activists.
Regarding the importance of Syria, he said: "Syria is important to us because it is in the process of reconstruction and this building can still be a place for trade between Iran and Syria; Syria has good facilities that our country needs. This shopping center was opened a few days ago and has started its work.
Zbardast also said about clearing exchanges between Iran and Syria: "One of the issues that are raised about the problems of foreign exchange transfers is that clearing exchanges should be done so that factories can supply their raw materials and it is easier than transferring money." Is. The necessary permits need to be obtained, an agreement must be reached with the Trade Development Organization to bring in the raw materials and equipment needed by the factories that have received accreditation permits, instead of bringing in foreign exchange. This is an agreement that has been reached with the central bank.
In response to the question of what goods will be imported from Syria, he said: بیشتر Most of the raw materials of the factories will probably be brought because all our concern is to export, but many factories need both machinery and raw materials.
In the end, this member of the Iran-Syria Chamber of Commerce said about Iran's presence in the reconstruction of Syria: "Part of this work was done by the Khatam base and is currently being done, and large companies were also present there." But we believe that the private sector should do this and the public sector should be less present. For this reason, this business center can provide an opportunity to create space for economic actors, both in the field of technical engineering services and other sectors in Syria.
According to ILNA, the building of Iran Business Center in Damascus has been put into operation on twelve floors, two of which are exhibitions, and in other floors, various services in the field of marketing, transportation, legal advice, banking, insurance, exhibitions, etc. are provided. The head of the Iran-Syria Joint Chamber announced the establishment of 24 Iranian companies in the center and the start of their activities.
