SYRIA called on fellow Arab countries today to invest in the war-torn nation, ahead of an Arab League summit later this week.
Economy and Trade Minister Mohammed Samer al-Khalil made the appeal during an economic conference in Saudi Arabia, which will host the summit on May 19 in Riyadh.
The 22-member Arab League agreed earlier this month to restore Syria’s membership, ending a 12-year suspension.
