Yemen, Syria discuss means to enhance economic cooperation

SANAA, Sept. 03 (YPA) – Yemen’s ambassador to Syria, Abdullah Ali Sabri, discussed on the Syrian official several aspects related to enhancing the economic cooperation between the two brotherly countries.

This came during his meeting with President of Damascus Chamber of Industry and Countryside Dr. Samer Al-Debs, and a number of the Chamber’s members.

The officials touched upon investment opportunities and facilitating trade exchange in coordination between the Chambers of Industry and Commerce in the two countries, and work to resume relevant understandings and protocols, taking into account changes and developments.

In the meeting, the ambassador Sabri stressed that the siege, sanctions and economic war constitute a common pain between Yemen and Syria, explaining that the war on the two countries is American par excellence, in which the two countries made an epic of popular steadfastness in the face of aggression, siege and conspiracies.

Sabri pointed to the strict measures taken by the Sanaa government are successful in limiting the deterioration of the national currency and providing local alternatives for agricultural and food products and commodities.

“We look forward to benefiting from the Syrian experience in the industrial sector and the self-sufficiency that help Syria to stand firm and make the Syrian government independent by its political decision,” the Yemeni ambassador added.

For his part, the Syrian official indicated that the resistance axis was targeted economically, after the military war on it failed, calling on Yemeni businessmen to coordinate with Syrian businessmen and establish joint investments to advance the economic reality in the two countries.
