According to Euronews, Syria is working to restore its textile industry, which previously supplied garments to both Arab and European markets before being dismantled during the country's civil war. As sanctions have been lifted and some investors begin to return, the government is looking to revitalise the manufacturing sector.

A major trade fair held in Aleppo serves as a test for these recovery efforts, assessing whether the nation can successfully rebuild its former industrial capabilities. The event represents a significant step in the effort to restart large-scale textile production and attract renewed interest from international markets.
