Amman, Sept. 6 (Petra) — Prime Minister Jafar Hassan chaired a
meeting Sunday with ministers, officials and private sector
representatives to discuss the sustainability of supply chains and

partnership between government agencies and the private sector,
calling for measures to sustain the efficient flow of goods through
Aqaba’s ports and all border crossings.

commodities in the domestic market.
