Amman, June 25 (Petra) – Investment Minister Tareq Abu Ghazaleh on
Thursday concluded a working visit to China, after holding
“high-level” meetings with economic institutions and Chinese and
international companies, and visiting industrial and technology
facilities.

During his trip, Abu Ghazaleh attended inauguration of the China
International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing, as an honorary
member.

The Ministry of Investment presented a working paper showcasing
Jordan’s “competitive” investment environment and inviting Chinese
and international firms to explore opportunities in renewable energy,
value-added industries, logistics, infrastructure, mining, and food
industries.

The minister said Jordan offers “lucrative” investment priviliges,
positioning it as a “regional hub” for business, logistics, and
investment, supported by its strategic location, stability,
regulatory reforms, and extensive trade agreements.

Additionally, Abu Ghazaleh met with Ren Hongbin, Chair of the China
Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and the
organizing body of the expo, alongside representatives of major
Chinese economic institutions.

His tour featured meetings with several leading Chinese companies,
including Cainiao Smart Logistics Network, a major player in
logistics and e-commerce supply chains, and Sinofert and Sinochem
Holdings, which operate in the fertilizer and agricultural technology
sectors.

He toured a bus manufacturing facility supplying Jordan’s Southern
Badia school transportation project, discussing investment
opportunities in the Kingdom’s transportation manufacturing sector
and the integration of advanced technologies to boost industrial
capacity and competitiveness.

He also visited Xiong’an New Area, reviewing China’s smart city,
infrastructure, and urban planning experience, and exploring ways to
attract investment and expertise to Jordan under the Economic
Modernisation Vision (EMV).

In press remarks, he said the visit strengthened direct engagement
with Chinese institutions and business leaders, opening fresh avenues
for cooperation in industry, logistics, energy, technology,
agriculture, and infrastructure.

The ministry will follow up on the visit’s outcomes to create
investment projects and partnerships that support economic growth and
job creation in Jordan, he pointed out.
