Amman: President of Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC), Khalil Tawfiq, met with a delegation from the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (CCAB) to discuss the expansion of trade and investment connections between Jordan and Brazil. The meeting, held on Tuesday, was a significant step towards enhancing economic collaboration between the two nations.
According to Jordan News Agency, the CCAB extended an invitation to Tawfiq to be a keynote speaker at the Brazil and Arab Countries Economic Forum 2026, which is set to occur in So Paulo, Brazil, on August 25. The forum is anticipated to be a crucial platform for public and private leaders to engage in discussions on logistics, energy, the digital economy, and cross-sector investments.
The discussions included plans for a Brazilian product exhibition in Amman in October 2026. This exhibition will showcase companies from various sectors such as food processing, construction, furniture, pharmaceuticals, apparel, and coffee. The initiative aims to replicate the success of the 2025 Jordanian-Brazilian Economic Forum by enhancing Brazil's market presence in Jordan and establishing new trade and investment relationships.
Tawfiq emphasized that Jordan's strategic location, comprehensive free trade agreements, and logistics infrastructure uniquely position the Kingdom as a regional gateway and re-export hub for surrounding markets. He highlighted the Economic Modernization Vision (EMV) as a catalyst for creating an attractive investment climate, particularly in the sectors of food industries, pharmaceuticals, energy, trade, tourism, and information technology.
Furthermore, Tawfiq suggested that Brazilian business delegations consider including tourism operators to highlight Jordan's religious, medical, and cultural tourism potential, alongside its role as a regional economic and logistics center. The CCAB reiterated its commitment to enhancing cooperation with the JCC, acknowledging that both the upcoming economic forum in So Paulo and the exhibition in Amman are vital opportunities for establishing new business partnerships and investments.
