Syria, Jordan, Turkey Sign Agreement to Develop Regional Trade Corridor
Syria, Jordan, and Turkey have signed a trilateral memorandum of understanding aimed at developing the transport sector and enhancing trade links among the three countries. The agreement, signed in Amman, Jordan, focuses on turning borders into hubs for economic integration and joint development. A key component of the agreement is the prioritization of the railway sector, with plans to establish a trilateral technical committee to evaluate existing networks and determine requirements for future projects. The initiative seeks to activate the 'Middle Corridor' as a strategic route that links markets and expands transit trade, potentially reshaping the region's economic landscape. This agreement follows a series of technical meetings focused on restoring land and rail links after years of disruption due to the war in Syria.
