Amman, Oct. 1 (Petra) — Minister of Investment Tarek Abu Ghazaleh
and Italian Ambassador to Jordan Pier Luigi Zamporlini discussed
Thursday ways to expand investment cooperation and strengthen
business ties between Jordan and Italy.

Abu Ghazaleh highlighted the importance of building on the strong
relations between the two countries by increasing engagement with
Italian companies, institutions and investors and connecting them
with investment opportunities and projects available in Jordan.

He noted the importance of following up on the outcome of a recent
Jordanian delegation visit to Milan, which included meetings with
Italian companies and economic institutions, and building on the
interest expressed in investment opportunities in Jordan by
translating it into partnerships and investment projects.

The two sides also discussed ways to increase the participation of
Italian companies and investors in the Jordan-EU Investment
Conference, scheduled to be held at the Dead Sea on Nov. 19.

Abu Ghazaleh described the conference as a practical platform for
connecting European companies with investment opportunities and
projects in Jordan and building partnerships between Jordanian and
European private-sector companies.

He also highlighted Jordan’s efforts to strengthen its position as a
stable and reliable investment destination, supported by its
strategic location, trade agreements and skilled workforce, as well
as legislative and procedural reforms aimed at facilitating business,
enabling investment growth and supporting access to regional markets.

Zamporlini affirmed Italy’s interest in developing economic and
investment relations with Jordan and strengthening links between the
two countries’ business communities to explore new areas of
cooperation and build partnerships serving their mutual interests.

He also expressed his commitment to continued coordination and
support for efforts related to the investment conference, which, he
said, would help increase the participation of Italian companies and
open broader prospects for economic and investment cooperation
between the two countries.
