Amman, August 20 (Petra) – “His Majesty King Abdullah II’s visit to
China marks a strategic step toward strengthening Jordan’s economic
partnership with the Asian power, unlocking investment opportunities
and expanding trade,” First Deputy Speaker of the Lower House of
Representatives Khamis Atieh said.

In press remarks Thursday, Atieh noted that the visit signals the
Kingdom’s “readiness” for establishing new global partnerships,
leveraging its stability and strategic location to attract
investments that create jobs and drive long-term development.

China’s industrial, technological, and economic scale makes it a
“crucial” partner for Jordan, he added, offering key opportunities to
attract foreign investment, launch joint manufacturing projects,
transfer expertise, and expand markets for Jordanian products.

As for Jordan’s current priviliges, he pointed to its “strategic”
location, political stability, and “broad” trade network as “key
assets” that position the Kingdom as a “regional hub” for Chinese
investment.

He urged both nations to build lasting partnerships across core
sectors, including manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, technology,
and logistics.

He identified manufacturing, energy, transportation, technology, and
logistics as “prime sectors” for joint ventures, urging government
agencies and the private sector to turn agreements into tangible
projects and work to reduce the bilateral trade imbalance.
