January 16-19 the delegation of Syrian businessmen headed by
President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Aleppo will
arrive in Armenia. The delegation will comprise both Ara and Armenian
businessmen.

"Armenpress" was told from RA Chamber of Commerce and Industry that
the Syrian guests will have meetings with members of the Chamber of
Commerce and Industry of Armenia and Armenian businessmen. They will
visit different enterprises, trying to find edges of cooperation.

According to the same source, there are no political contradictions
between Armenia and Syria, but the trade and economic ties between
the two countries are not on a sufficient level. In 2006 the commodity
turnover decreased as compared to the previous year. Armenia imports
fruit and metallic constructions from Syria and exports mainly
rubber. The aim of the visit of Syrian businessmen is to improve the
level of trade and economic relations and to have these relations
reach the level of political ties.

It is expected that during the visit an agreement on cooperation
will be signed between the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the
two countries.
