RIYADH, June 01 (Arab News): Saudi Arabia’s GO Telecom has signed an agreement with the Syrian government to help modernize the country’s digital infrastructure, marking one of the first major private sector initiatives following the recent easing of Western sanctions.
The agreement was signed by Syrian Minister of Telecommunications Abdul Salam Haykal and GO Telecom CEO Yahya bin Saleh Al-Mansour. The deal aims to revamp Syria’s ageing communications network, a critical step in the nation’s long path toward recovery. Riyadh-based GO Telecom is expanding its presence in post-conflict markets through strategic infrastructure investments.
The move follows a significant policy shift by Western powers.
