Syrian Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Abdul Salam Haykal, announced the resolution of the case involving the company MTN. He stated that the Zain Group has been selected as a partner for the next phase of the telecommunications sector, with operations in Syria set to begin during the first quarter of 2027.
In remarks reported by the state news agency SANA, Haykal explained that the government inherited the dispute with MTN—a legacy of the previous regime’s policies—and took responsibility for resolving it to pave the way for new investments that will contribute to the development of telecommunications services.
He added that the current priority is to ensure the continuity of services for subscribers until the Zain Group commences its operations according to the announced timeline.
The Minister emphasized that the government is committed to protecting the rights of investors and settling disputes in accordance with the law, through dialogue and fairness. He further underscored the government’s dedication to providing telecommunications services that meet the aspirations of the Syrian people.
