NEWS FROM THE ARAB EMBASSIES
Welcoming the Chargé d'Affaires of Syria On 23 February 2022, the Secretary General of the Arab-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Rashad Mabger, received at its premises, His Excellency Mr. Firas Al Rashidi, Chargé d'Affaires of the Syrian Embassy in Athens, along with the Embassy’s Counsellor, Mr. Ali Daghman, who paid a courtesy visit to our Chamber. During this long-awaited visit, the two sides discussed issues of mutual interest, but mainly the points related to rebuilding strong lasting business relationships in all the business domains. They agreed that once the Syrian Embassy opens, there will be closer coordination in order to further activate the private sector’s relations in both countries. This cordial visit will be instrumental in opening avenues for us to engage Greek businessmen with their Syrian counterparts, as well as in opening channels of communication and in embarking on business partnerships, where possible.
Mr. Firas Al Rashidi, Chargé d'Affaires of the Syrian Embassy in Athens
Syria and Greece have, throughout the years, enjoyed impeccable relations based on mutual respect and cooperation. The efforts to open the Syrian Embassy in the coming weeks will mark a new beginning for these relations.
We would like to seize this opportunity to assure Mr. Al Rashidi of our full cooperation. We are looking forward to receiving the Syrian Ambassador to Greece - hopefully soon.
