(MENAFN) Syria’s Minister of Transport, Yarub Badr, revealed that the country will spend approximately $794 million on its marine transport sector as part of the government’s current five-year plan, as opposed to $193 million spent in the previous five-year plan, Arabian Business reported.
The current five-year plan underlines the strategic importance of Tartous Port in Syria and calls for the establishment of a centre for marine training and marine courts at the site, explained Badr.
Separately, Syria is to spend an additional $10.36 billion on new developments within the residential, retail, hospitality, office, leisure, infrastructure, and energy and tourism sectors as part of the Five-Year Plan, in order to enhance the country’s economy and attract foreign capital.
