Amman, Sept. 9 (Petra) – Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply
Yarub Qudah met in Moscow with Minister in charge of Integration and
Macroeconomics at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Daniyar
Imanaliev to discuss expanding trade, investment, and economic
cooperation.

Boosting joint coordination will create new commercial avenues for
Jordanian and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) business sectors while
expanding overall trade volume, both ministers stated.

Implementing the existing memorandum of understanding hinges on
establishing a dedicated trade and investment working group, Qudah
said, calling for its first session to convene in Moscow later this
year.

He added that drafting a targeted roadmap and aligning regulatory
policies serve as necessary prerequisites for launching formal free
trade agreement (FTA) or preferential trade agreement (PTA)
negotiations, creating fresh opportunities for private-sector
expansion.

Imanaliev, for his part, voiced the EAEU’s interest in evaluating
options to boost economic frameworks with Jordan, stressing the need
to transition from dialogue to “actionable steps that deliver
concrete mutual benefits.”
