Amman, Sept. 30 (Petra) – Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA)
President Ayman Alawneh and Spanish Ambassador José Luis Pardo Cuerdo
on Wednesday discussed ways to expand trade, investment, and private
sector collaboration.
To boost trade and investment, the two sides pledged to revive the
Jordanian-Spanish Business Council, created in 1995, as a “hub for
corporate partnerships and market data exchange.”
According to a JBA statement, Alawneh pushed for leveraging the
Jordan-EU Investment Conference to attract Spanish investment across
energy, infrastructure, logistics, manufacturing, tourism, and
technology sectors. He called for more trade delegations and direct
business-to-business meetings.
The ambassador, for his part, stated Spain’s commitment to
facilitating mutual private sector partnerships and promoting
Jordan’s investment landscape to Spanish firms. He noted that Amman
and Madrid operate open economies with big potential for growth.
The meeting also touched on infrastructure projects, renewable
energy, and joint opportunities in regional reconstruction efforts.
