The head of Crimea, Sergey Aksenov, said that the authorities of the republic, due to the results of the current year, want to increase the volume of cargo turnover with Syria to 150 thousand tons. He said this after the negotiations with the Syrian delegation at the Yalta Forum.
Aksenov stressed that the first batch of 2.5 thousand tons of barley had already been sent to Syria this year.
“We discussed, among other things, the question of the return loading (of the ship),” RIA Novosti quotes Aksenov as saying.
