Damascus, SANA- Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister, Bassam Tu’ma, said that the US occupation of parts of the Syrian territory, including oil resources, and the illegal sanctions imposed by Washington on Syria, cause great suffering on the Syrian People.

Minister Tu’ma participated in a virtual session entitled “Energy Security and Development…A Road Map to Prosperity” held within the framework of ‘Voice of Global South” Summit organized by the Indian government on 12th and 13th of January.

The minister focused on the challenges facing Syria in the energy field, indicating that the terrorist war on Syria has caused a significant decline in the production of oil, gas and electricity.

Tu’ma called on Indian companies to participate in projects in Syria, whether in oil and gas exploration or investment in renewable energies.
