It was an honor for Dr Mary Papaschinopoulou to engage in a meaningful discussion with Mr. Firas Al Rashidi, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Syrian Arab Republic to the Hellenic Republic, during their recent meeting at the Embassy premises in Psychiko on March 7.
Syria’s strategic maritime position offers a wealth of opportunities and underscores the importance of blue economy. With a long-standing maritime tradition and numerous ports serving as vital hubs for the Middle East, Syria is poised to harness its maritime potential for economic growth and regional stability.
Mr. Al Rashidi and Dr. Mary delved into the significance of blue diplomacy in shaping Syria’s “day after” economy. For Syria embracing the innovative tool of blue diplomacy means not only leveraging its maritime resources for economic vitality but also navigating geopolitical complexities with neighboring nations while celebrating its maritime heritage.
At MARDIPLO, we are deeply committed to supporting the Embassy’s endeavors in advancing Syria’s interests in this sector.
We are grateful for the warm reception and insightful conversations shared and look forward to continued collaboration and progress in our shared pursuit of a thriving Blue economy for Syria and beyond.
