Damascus Gets Credit Line for Imports from Iran: VP

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri said a line of credit has been opened for Syria to import Iranian commodities and services.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Syrian Prime Minister Imad Khamis in Tehran on Tuesday, Jahangiri pointed to the five cooperation agreements signed between the two sides earlier in the day, saying that under the new conditions, the Iranian private sector and those companies that had worked in the Arab country can resume their activities.

“A credit line has been given to Syria so that (Iranian) merchants can export goods and services to Syria,” he added.

The five cooperation agreements were signed during a ceremony in Tehran attended by Jahangiri and Khamis.

According to one of the agreements, Damascus awarded a license to an Iranian mobile phone network operator to work in the Arab country.

The two countries will also cooperate in other areas, including agriculture, mining as well as oil and gas sectors.

Khamis arrived in Tehran on Tuesday morning at the head of a senior economic delegation.
