World Bank: Delegation Visits Syria to Strengthen Partnership and Identify Support Priorities

The World Bank announced on Thursday that a delegation visited Syria to strengthen the bilateral partnership and identify priority sectors for supporting the Syrian people.

The visit comes as part of international efforts to discuss ways to improve the economic and service conditions within the country, as the bank seeks to establish a clear plan to direct aid towards the most needy sectors, such as infrastructure, health, and education.

This step is seen as an indicator of a new openness in the relationship between Damascus and international financial institutions, at a time when Syria faces significant economic and humanitarian challenges.
