DAMASCUS – Syria’s Minister of Oil and
Mineral Resources, HE Mr. Bassam Tohme, received HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh,
founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG.Global) at the Ministry
where they discussed cooperation in the area of digital transformation
services.

The meeting also tackled the importance of
using alternative energy sources, and the mechanism of calculating economic
losses and benefits as a result of the war, Syria has been faced with for an
entire decade. That is in addition to the mechanism of calculating accumulated
losses due to missed opportunities in order to safeguard Syria’s rights and the
rights of the Syrian people.

For his part, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh affirmed
that digital transformation is the future and the optimum tool to counter
Syria's challenges, pointing to TAG.Global’s readiness to provide digital
transformation services to the Ministry.

He, furthermore, underlined the need to
move towards ‘necessary development’ rather than ‘sustainable development’,
stressing TAG.Global’s eagerness to cooperate with the Ministry in several
areas including digital transformation, e-archiving and auditing.

It is worth mentioning that Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
Global (TAG.Global) has been operating in Syria through its office in Damascus
