Amman, July 29 (Petra) – The University of Jordan and the
Jordanian-American Business Council signed a memorandum of
understanding on Wednesday to strengthen academic and research
cooperation and expand partnerships with U.S. universities, research
centres and institutions.

The agreement, signed by University President Nadhir Obeidat and
