The agreement expands an existing, successful partnership between Syria and AKU, said a statement.
'Building institutional capacity in Syria - jointly in healthcare and education, is a goal which we have shared since we started our discussions and the agreement that was signed today with regard to higher education and institutional building, enters directly into this area,' said the Aga Khan at the signing ceremony.
