Minister says Iran planning to develop its ICT equipment in Syria

Zarepour made the announcement in a post he shared on Wednesday on Bale, an Iranian messaging and social media application.

The minister shared his post while in Syria where he along with some cabinet ministers is accompanying President Ebrahim Raisi during a two-day official visit that began on Wednesday.

“I share this post with my dear countrymen from the Syrian capital and via domestic platforms,” he said, adding that he would make efforts to prepare the ground for the presence of the Iranian information and communications technology equipment and platforms “within the geography of Syria.”

According to Zarepour, Iran has not had a strong presence in Syria as long as ICT equipment is concerned, despite the fact that the Arab country is in need of them as its infrastructures have been badly damaged during the years-long conflict there.
