Adnan Abdo Al Sukhni (Arabic: عدنان عبدو السخني; born 1961) is a Syrian politician who has been serving as industry minister since August 2012.
Sukhni was born in Aleppo in 1961.[1] He received a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Charles in the Republic of Czechoslovakia.[1]
Sukhni served at Syria's People's Assembly for three terms.[2] From 2010 to 2012, he was the governor of Raqqa Governorate.[2] He was appointed industry minister to the cabinet headed by Prime Minister Wael Al Halaqi on 16 August 2012.[3] [4]
On 15 October 2012, Sukhni was added to the European Union's sanction list on the grounds that as a cabinet minister, he "shares responsibility for the regime’s violent repression against the civilian population."[5]
On 16 May 2013, the United States Treasury Department designated four senior Syrian officials, including Sukhni, for "backing the regime of Bashar Assad in suppressing people or involvement in terrorism."[6] [7] [8]
