“Al-Halaqi affirmed the Syrian government’s desire to open new economic cooperation channels with the friendly countries, with Russia being among the top, a thing that would help reduce the bad effects of the unjust economic blockade imposed on the country (…) Achieving that end includes providing the needed foodstuffs, wheat and oil derivatives, the Premier added” SANA reported.
The Syrian Premier Wael al-Halaqi invited Russian companies again in order to boot investments to contribute to the reconstruction process.
