Syria-China
Syria to receive Chinese communications equipment soon
Damascus: Syria will soon receive communications equipment from China as part of an ongoing aid to the war-hit nation, media reports said on Saturday.
The deal between the two nations was signed at an exchange-of-notes ceremony held in Damascus on Wednesday.
Under the agreement, which was signed by Chinese Ambassador to Syria Feng Biao and Chairman of Syria's Planning and International Cooperation Authority Fadi Salti Al-Khalil, the aid equipment will be delivered in two batches to the Syrian Communications and Technology Ministry, reports Xinhua news agency of China.
Feng said the equipment, as well as other aid items, are an integral part of China's involvement in Syria's reconstruction, "representing the sincere feeling between the two peoples of supporting each other through thick and thin."
"Any economic activity needs communications such as telephone and internet, so the availability of these services in areas liberated by the Syrian army would help displaced people return to their homes," Syrian Minister of Communications and Technology Iyad Mohammad al-Khatib during the ceremony told Xinhua.
