The Ministry of Information honoured the winning works of the “Syria in Our Eyes” initiative during a ceremony held at the Damascus Opera House.
The event, organised by the General Corporation for Radio and Television Production in collaboration with Trend Art Production, was attended by Syrian officials, media figures, and Arab diplomats.
In his remarks, Minister of Information Hamza al-Mustafa affirmed the Ministry’s commitment to developing dramatic and cinematic production in Syria through partnerships with the private sector and other stakeholders. He expressed the Ministry’s ambition for Damascus to become a regional hub for artistic production and a prime destination for investors in drama and the creative industries.
Al-Mustafa noted that the Ministry will back this vision by introducing supportive legislation and offering full facilitation to investors and production companies.
