The lawmaker noted that the group of officials, that would go to Syria for participating in the fair, would be a high-level delegation.

The Damascus International Fair is the major and the oldest fair in the Middle East launched for the first time in 1954.

In 2017, the event was carried out for the first time since the beginning of the Syrian armed conflict in 2011.
