Azerbaijan and Syria to establish joint Business Council

Azerbaijan and Syria will establish a joint Business Council to enhance economic and commercial engagement between the two nations, Syrian Minister of Economy and Industry Mohammad Nidal al-Shaar announced at an event in Baku.

Unveiling the initiative alongside Azerbaijani Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov, al-Shaar stated that Damascus is seeking to reconnect with the global economic architecture and build new foreign trade partnerships following years of isolation. A similar agreement on establishing a business council was reached with Uzbekistan a week earlier.

Emphasizing that Syria is transitioning as an open, free-market economy focused on reconstruction, al-Shaar noted that resilience in supply chains has become increasingly vital amid the shifting dynamics of global commerce.
