The General Authority of the Aleppo Chamber of Commerce: Increasing the number of flights from Aleppo International Airport and creating an exhibition city

Aleppo-Sana

Members of the Aleppo Chamber of Commerce demanded, during the Chamber’s annual general assembly meeting today, to increase the number of flights from Aleppo International Airport to the Arab countries, to create a city for exhibitions to market products, to increase the amount of oil derivatives to the city, to control the movement of markets, and to exempt merchants from fees and taxes who are affected by terrorism.

In their interventions, they called for securing electricity and meters for commercial stores in and around Sweika, granting emerging merchants and industrialists commercial records for a year and exempting them from fees as they are owners of small and micro enterprises.

The Minister of Industry, Ziyad Sabbagh, stated that Aleppo is a commercial and industrial carrier of the national economy as it integrates its industrial production with its commercial and export movement, calling for increased production and reliance on local trade to market industrial products and contribute to rebuilding the homeland.

Sabbagh added that Aleppo, whose factories and production facilities were destroyed and devastated by terrorism, has returned again thanks to its sons and their standing by the Syrian Arab Army, which defeated terrorism and achieved security and safety and made victory.

Amer Hamwi, head of the Aleppo Chamber of Commerce, talked about the efforts made to reactivate the commercial markets in the old city and set successful economic policies to encourage and support merchants to return to their shops destroyed by terrorism, and to restore and invest them again to revive the commercial movement in the old city of Aleppo.

Hamwi pointed to the positive intervention of Aleppo merchants in the markets to reduce prices through their participation in local fairs and Ramadan charitable markets.

After that, the Chamber's activities were reviewed and the organizational and financial reports were approved.
