Amman: The Jordanian Investors Association (JIA) and Jordanian Exporters Association (JEA) on Saturday signed a joint cooperation agreement to combine efforts to serve investors and exporters and cooperate in organizing exhibitions. The agreement, signed at a meeting at the JIA headquarters in the King Abdullah II Industrial City, aims to exchange expertise and implement joint initiatives and projects to support the growth of national exports and increase the competitiveness of the national industry in regional and global markets.
According to Jordan News Agency, JIA President Mujahid Al-Rajabi highlighted that the King Abdullah II Industrial City and Al-Muwaqqar Industrial City, part of the JIA's geographical scope, are key industrial zones in the Kingdom. These zones house more than 1,200 factories with an active capital exceeding JD6 billion and employ a workforce of over 37,000. Al-Rajabi emphasized that exports from the industrial zone are crucial to the national economy, significantly contributing to the Kingdom's trade balance. He added that the new cooperation with the Exporters Association aims to expand partnerships and open new markets for Jordanian products.
Al-Rajabi also noted that His Majesty King Abdullah II's vision for industry and exports serves as a clear roadmap for the industrial sector. He stressed that economic associations act as support for industry and commerce chambers in implementing the ambitious national vision.
Head of the Exporters Association, Senator Ahmed Khudari, stated that industrial and export associations are partners in executing economic modernization programs. He mentioned that such cooperation will assist industries in accessing new markets, particularly with preparations underway for international exhibitions in South Korea in June.
