Jordan explores strategic role in Syria’s post-war reconstruction efforts
Amman delegation discusses investment opportunities, infrastructure cooperation during high-level visit to Damascus
DAMASCUS, Syria (MNTV) — Jordanian companies have been officially invited to take part in Syria’s post-war reconstruction, following a high-level economic meeting between Jordanian and Syrian officials in Damascus on Monday.
The invitation was extended by Syrian Minister of Public Works and Housing Mustafa Abdulrazzaq, who met with a visiting Jordanian economic delegation to discuss opportunities for cross-border collaboration in rebuilding war-affected regions.
Abdulrazzaq emphasized Syria’s interest in Jordan’s expertise in infrastructure, especially solar-powered street lighting and engineering consultancy.
The minister noted that Syria is focusing its efforts on rehabilitating destroyed regions, expanding cooperative housing, and strengthening public construction institutions.
He said foreign investment—particularly from Arab neighbors like Jordan—would be welcomed, with government incentives available to participating companies.
Abdulrazzaq also commended Jordan for its humanitarian role during the conflict, including the reception and sheltering of Syrian refugees.
The Jordanian delegation was led by Senator Khalil Al Haj Tawfiq, president of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, who said the visit aimed to revive commercial and investment ties.
He reiterated Jordan’s private sector readiness to support Syria’s recovery through strategic partnerships.
Al Haj Tawfiq highlighted the strength of Jordan’s construction and engineering sectors, announcing plans to provide a list of companies specializing in renewable energy and solar lighting.
He proposed the launch of a Syria-Jordan business forum to showcase capabilities in housing and infrastructure development.
Fouad Al Duweiri, president of the Jordanian Contractors Association, said Jordanian firms can offer full-service solutions, including construction, mechanical training, and consultancy aligned with modern standards.
He welcomed opportunities for joint ventures with Syrian firms in infrastructure and residential projects.
Ibrahim Nawaisah, head of the construction sector at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, cited Jordan’s regional track record in Iraq and the Gulf, calling Syria’s reconstruction a shared priority that can deepen economic ties.
Fahd Abu Jaber of the Jordanian Engineering Business Forum added that Jordanian consultancies can support Syria in areas such as urban planning, traffic control, and the restoration of schools, hospitals, and water networks.
