Syria and Germany established a joint committee on reconstruction and investment and signed an air transport agreement in Damascus, paving the way for direct flights between the two countries, according to reports.
Syria and Germany have taken a significant step in bilateral ties by establishing a joint committee on reconstruction and investment and signing an air transport agreement in Damascus. The deal paves the way for direct flights between the two countries for the first time in years.
The agreement reflects Germany's growing engagement with post-conflict Syria, which has been pursuing economic and diplomatic normalization with various international actors. As The Zioneer has reported, Syria recently signed a gas development deal with two US companies, approved the restoration of the historic Jewish cemetery in Damascus, and reached an agreement with Iraq to restore the oil pipeline connecting the two countries. The Trump administration has also been pressing Israel and Syria to resume security talks.
The Reconstruction and Investment Committee is expected to coordinate German and European involvement in Syria's rebuilding efforts. No timeline for the direct flights has been announced yet.
