Syria-DPWorld deal: $800 million Tartus port pact signed; post-Assad regime eyes post-war reconstruction
Syria has signed an $800 million agreement with UAE-based company DP World to develop the port of Tartus, state media reported on Sunday, marking a major step in the country's push to rebuild after 14 years of civil war. The deal comes as the new Islamist authorities, who took power following the ousting of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad in December, continue efforts to reconnect Syria with international companies and revive its shattered economy. 'In the presence of President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, an agreement was signed between the General Authority for Land and Sea Ports and DP World, valued at $800 million, as a strategic step aimed at enhancing port infrastructure and logistics services in Syria,' state news agency SANA reported. DP World CEO Sultan Bin Sulayem said the country held 'significant assets, including the Port of Tartus, which represents an opportunity to transport and export many Syrian industries.' He also pledged to make Tartus 'one of the best ports in the world'. DP World operates dozens of marine and inland ports and terminals across Asia, Africa and Europe. The war left Syria's infrastructure in ruins. The new leadership is banking on the easing of Western sanctions to attract investment and drive reconstruction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?
