On February 11, the General Authority for the Syrian Ports announced an agreement with Jordan to exempt the Syrian trucks entering the Kingdom from all the fees that were previously imposed.
This came according to previous statements by the director of relations at the authority, Mazen Alloush, which was reported by the official Syrian News Agency (SANA).
“After coordination and communication between the General Authority for the Land and Maritime Ports, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Supply, and the Ministry of Transport in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, it was agreed to exempt the Syrian trucks entering Jordanian lands from all the fees that were previously imposed (not specified their value) “.
Last December, the Syrian authorities decided to exempt Jordanian trucks of all kinds of drawings and stamps that were pushed at the Jaber Nassib border crossing with Jordan.
These measures come within the Syrian government’s endeavor to restructure and develop the various sectors of the country, with the aim of improving the economic situation after the overthrow of the Bashar al -Assad regime, according to SANA.
