Syria Launches “Made in Syria” Program as It Seeks Deeper Energy Ties With Turkey

Syria has launched a new “Made in Syria” industrial program through its Ministry of Economy while President Ahmad al-Sharaa held talks with Turkey’s energy minister on expanding cooperation in energy, mining and infrastructure. The discussions reflect a broader effort by Damascus and Ankara to deepen economic ties as Syria tries to revive industry and address severe power shortages. Recent reports say the two sides have also moved on practical energy steps, including gas and electricity supplies to Syria and a mining memorandum on phosphate resources.
