TORONTO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Canadian Minister of Foreign ‌Affairs Anita Anand ‌said on Wednesday that Canada ​had amended its economic sanctions on Syria to ease restrictions related to ‌the import ⁠and export of goods, investment activities ⁠and the provision of financial and other services.

“The ​amendments also ​remove ​24 entities ‌and one individual from the Syria Regulations to reduce barriers to economic activity and to enable ‌transactions with state-affiliated ​entities in ​key ​sectors critical to ‌Syria’s recovery,” Anand said ​in ​a statement.
