Syria and Turkey have signed a memorandum of understanding to reactivate international road transport between the two countries after a 15-year hiatus. The agreement, signed by Syria's General Authority for Land and Maritime Borders and Turkey's Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, allows for the resumption of direct cargo and passenger road transit without the need for border transshipment. This development is expected to enhance Syria's position as a key commercial corridor connecting Asia and Europe through its land crossings and ports. Additionally, cooperation agreements in the education sector were announced, including plans to establish a joint Syrian-Turkish university.
