In a statement to the media, the Minister of Industry, Ziyad Sabbagh, praised the insistence shown by the Syrian industrial sector, especially the leather industry with all its components, as well as the insistence of the Arab Federation of Leather Industries to hold the Sila exhibition, which has become an annual tradition in every season, as the majority of local participants are from the governorates that have been subjected to the earthquake disasters such as Aleppo and Hama – this in itself is a challenge for the advancement of the leather industries sector, which is considered one of the ancient industries in Syria.
