The AASTMT's Branch in Syria (Lattakia):

In October 2001, the AASTMT inaugurated its branch in Lattakia, Syria. This branch offered Nautical (marine navigation) Studies and International Transport and Logistics Studies. The branch later expanded to include Engineering Studies in the field of computers. The number of students in the Syrian branch reached 1300 students. Based on the Agreement of the AASTMT's establishment, this branch is considered a successful model for the AASTMT's branches, as this branch is the outcome of a cooperation between the government of an Arab country and one of the Arab League's specialized organizations.

It is worth mentioning that a request to grant the Syrian branch a permanent headquarters was applied to His Highness Dr. Bashar Al-Assad, President of Syria by His Excellency Mr. Amr Moussa, Secretary General of the Arab League. The request was approved of and an executive plan for the establishment of the headquarters is currently being devised.
