Amman, May 25 (Petra)– The heads of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry, Fathi Al-Jaghbeer and Engineer Ayman Muhammad Al-Mawlawi, agreed to establish joint sectoral committees between the two chambers, including the textile, chemical, engineering, and food sectors, in addition to a joint business council during an official visit to the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Al-Jaghbeer affirmed in a statement released by the chamber on Sunday that these committees will talk about expanding trade between the two nations in these areas and try to find a win-win solution to any problems.

He clarified that 25 Jordanian industrial enterprises would take part in the International Construction Exhibition, which will take place in Damascus from the 27th to the 31st of this month, as part of an effort to boost bilateral commercial relations. More than 250 industrialists, the largest delegation to visit Syria in decades, will attend the show, which is being organized by the Amman Chamber of Industry.

He also clarified that the participating Jordanian businesses include important reconstruction-related areas, such as the energy, engineering, building materials, and infrastructure sectors, where Jordan has strong competitive advantages. He underlined how crucial this involvement is to creating new opportunities for Jordanian goods in the Syrian market.

Al-Jaghbeer underlined the need of expanding Jordan-Syria economic links, pointing out that the two nations’ shared interests and historical ties foster an environment that is conducive to growing economic cooperation.

He went on to say that loosening regulations on financial transfers and the flow of commodities will help to improve the investment climate and ease the flow of goods and services.

The Kingdom’s geographic location makes it a crucial logistics hub for supplying goods to Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey, enhancing Jordan’s position as a regional trade corridor that supports its exports to neighboring markets via Syrian territory, he added, underscoring the significant role that Jordan’s industrial sector can play as a key driver in developing regional economic relations.
