Turkiye To Reopen Syria–jordan Land Corridor, Revive Trade Route To Gulf
Turkish officials also confirmed plans with Jordan to reactivate the Ottoman-era Hejaz railway linking Anatolia to the Red Sea via Aqaba
Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat announced on 30 October that the long-planned Turkiye–Syria transit corridor will become fully operational next year, allowing Turkish trucks to reach Jordan and Gulf states by road once remaining customs, visa, and infrastructure issues in Syria are resolved.
Bolat said the corridor, based on a deal signed in June between the transport ministers of Turkiye and Syria, had generated “excitement in Jordan.” He described it as “key in trade and transportation,” linking Turkiye and Europe to the Arab markets through Syrian and Jordanian territory.
“As soon as we revitalize these areas with roads and railways, trade and prosperity will rapidly increase,” Bolat noted, emphasizing that improved connectivity will strengthen regional commerce and integration.
Bolat announced that the first round of meetings for the Turkiye–Jordan Joint Economic Commission had concluded with the signing of a memorandum covering cooperation in trade, industry, agriculture, services, tourism, and culture.
“The agreement we signed today puts a roadmap on paper for the future agreements, activities, and programs we will carry out,” he said.
