Background-
Syria holds its first business forum with the United States, a milestone event that reflects growing economic cooperation between the two nations.
The Ministry of Economy and Industry organizes the gathering in Damascus together with the Syrian-American Business Council, bringing officials, investors and business leaders from both countries under one roof, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency.
Conversations at the forum center on Syria’s economic recovery, the reforms taking shape, and the investment openings ahead. Organizers see the event as a chance to build stronger private-sector links between the two countries, describing it as a meaningful step in the broader relationship.
Syria continues drawing foreign investment as ties with Washington keep improving. Investors now have a clearer route into Syria’s market, largely thanks to General License 25. Businesses setting up operations in the country also get support from exemptions under the Caesar Act, which simplify much of the process.
Adding to this, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that removed additional restrictions, giving both nations more space to grow economic cooperation.
These changes together mark a shift toward stronger ties, and they create new openings for trade, investment and partnership between American and Syrian businesses.
Where the two countries stand today comes through clearly at the forum, which gives both sides room to build economic connections meant to hold up over time.
