Amman, June 10 (Petra) — Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) and an
economic delegation from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq on Tuesday
discussed ways to organize reciprocal visits for businesspeople and
investors to explore investment opportunities and build sustainable
partnerships.

The talks, held at the JCI’s headquarters, brought together JCI
Chairman Fathi Jaghbir and a delegation led by President of Kurdistan
Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry Gaylan Haji Saeed.

Speaking at the meeting, Jaghbir said Iraq is an “important economic
partner” for Jordan, citing the “strong, historical” ties between the
two countries’ leaderships.

He noted Jordan’s investment environment and “strategic” location
qualify it to serve as a “regional hub” for industry, trade, and
services.

He also affirmed the chamber’s commitment to expanding cooperation
with the Kurdistan Region’s private sector, strengthening direct
communication between businesspeople and industrialists, and building
partnerships that support trade and investment growth.

For his part, Saeed said the Kurdistan Region is keen to strengthen
economic cooperation with Jordan and benefit from Jordanian expertise
across several sectors.

He added that the region offers “promising” investment opportunities
and seeks to further develop its economic ties with the Kingdom.

The two sides discussed means to enhance economic, trade, and
investment cooperation, increase trade exchange, promote joint
investments, and open new prospects for private sector cooperation.
