A free economic zone may be established in Idlib, with Syria and Türkiye collaborating on the project, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said, according to the Anadolu Agency.
"There are significant opportunities for regional integration between Syria and Türkiye… Work is currently underway to create a Syrian-Turkish free economic zone in Idlib, where priority industries can be developed jointly",
al-Sharaa said.
He explained that Idlib's location near the Turkish border makes it the most suitable region for such a project. The region is also crossed by key transport routes connecting Damascus, Aleppo, and Latakia.
Al-Sharaa also stated that the Syrian leadership, with support from Turkish partners, is investing in the reconstruction of Syria's air and maritime infrastructure, which will enhance the country's logistics capabilities.
