Syria continues to normalize with international business fair as credit card payments are back
More than 60 countries attended the fair, including key regional allies Saudi Arabia and Iraq, while Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa confirmed that credit cards are available again.
The 63rd Damascus International Fair has opened its doors to the general public for its fourth day at the Damascus Fairgrounds, following three days dedicated to business and investment programs. The fair is attended by over 60 countries, signaling Syria's progress in normalizing relations with the international community. Economic experts note that the fair's agreements and memoranda of understanding between Syrian and foreign business communities will help transition bilateral economic relations toward project-based partnerships and expanded market access.
Additionally, Syria has recently resumed processing credit card payments, symbolizing the country's re-entry into the international system after years of isolation.
