Croatian minister to visit Syria
Croatian Times
Croatian Minister of Economy, Labour and Entrepreneurship Djuro Popijac will visit Syria from 13 to 16 March, the ministry announced today (FRI).
Popijac will be received by Syrian Minister of Economy and Trade Lamia Assi and meet several other high-ranking officials during his visit.
Possible topics for discussion include enhancement of economic cooperation between the two countries, especially in the energy sector, and tourism. The Croatian minister will also discuss investment opportunities and possibilities for Croatian firms to participate in infrastructure projects in Syria.
With his Syrian counterparts, Popijac will share Croatia’s experience in development of small- and medium-sized enterprises and public-private partnerships. Together with Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Dardari, he will open the Syria-Croatia economic forum at which some 30 Croatian companies will be present.
The Croatian ministry said that Croatian businessmen would have an opportunity to exchange their experiences and knowledge with their Syrian colleagues at the forum and added that one of the reasons for the visit was the strengthening of cooperation between Croatian and Syrian firms.
Just last year, trade between the two countries amounted to 28 million Euros, a 173 percent increase from the previous year. Croatia’s exports rose by 212 percent from 2008 to 27,2 million euros. Imports from Syria, however, shrank by 48 percent to only 800,000 Euros, Croatian business portal Busines.hr has reported.
