Amman, Oct. 21 (Petra) — Jordan and Armenia are seeking to
strengthen economic ties and expand bilateral trade and investment,
with a particular focus on agriculture, food industries, the meat
sector, and construction.

Chamber of Commerce (JCC), discussed prospects for enhanced
cooperation with Ara Mkrtchyan, Armenia’s Honorary Consul to Jordan,

emphasizing that its strategic location and network of free trade
agreements offer Armenian companies access to regional and
international markets. He also pointed to investment opportunities in
major development projects across the Kingdom.

He stressed the importance of exchanging trade delegations and
strengthening communication between the chambers of commerce in both
countries. The Jordan Chamber of Commerce, he added, is ready to
provide its Armenian side with information on Jordanian companies
operating in the meat and food sectors to facilitate business
connections and identify potential partners.

trade and investment opportunities in Armenia, enabling the chamber
to circulate them among Jordanian businesses and help foster new
partnerships and increase bilateral trade.
