DAMASCUS COUNTRYSIDE, (ST)_Prime Minister has inspected Adra Cement Company and the Ein al-Fejeh Water Unit in Damascus countryside upon the directives of President Bashar al-Assad.
Dr. Wael al-Halaqi told reporters today that the government attaches great importance to the Adra Cement Company as it directly linked to the reconstruction process.
