Economic coordination with Jordan began on the first day after Syria’s liberation, and lifting sanctions on Syria will help enhance this cooperation in the fields of transport and energy, as well as other areas.
The Syrian Minister of Transport, Yarab Badr, discussed ways to enhance joint cooperation and available investment opportunities in the transport sector across various fields with a delegation from Jordan Express Tourist Transport (JETT) and Nammi Box.
During the meeting held at the ministry’s headquarters in Damascus, Badr confirmed the Ministry of Transport’s readiness to provide all necessary facilitation to enable serious investments and open avenues for cooperation with the private sector. This will contribute to the development of the transport sector’s infrastructure and achieve developmental goals related to the recovery and reconstruction phase.
Minister Badr emphasized the importance of partnership with investors in implementing vital and strategic projects that serve the national economy and support sustainable development. He noted that the ministry pays special attention to initiatives that rely on modern technology and enhance the efficiency of logistics services.
For their part, representatives of the two Jordanian companies presented a detailed overview of their areas of work in transport, technology, and logistics services, expressing their desire to enter into investment partnerships in the Syrian market based on clear economic feasibility studies and a long-term vision that serves the mutual interests of both sides.
JETT is one of the leading companies in the transport sector, offering a range of transport and logistics services. Meanwhile, Nammi Box specializes in electric vehicles manufactured by Dongfeng.
This meeting is part of the Transport Ministry’s efforts to encourage quality investments and open doors for cooperation with partners in various fields related to developing the transport sector.
Earlier, Badr confirmed that Syria welcomes direct Jordanian investments in the transport and logistics sector, updating the domestic transport fleet and taxi projects that operate through applications, alongside benefiting from the Jordanian experience in vehicle technical inspections.
On May 26, 2025, Damascus hosted the Syrian-Jordanian Economic Forum, with active participation from the Federation of Syrian Chambers of Commerce and the Jordan Chamber of Commerce. The event was attended by 42 Jordanian companies. The aim was to reactivate economic relations between both sides and develop commercial and investment partnerships. The forum represented an important path for re-establishing communication among private sector institutions after a break of nearly 14 years.
