According to Jordan News Agency, Alawneh called for expanding investment partnerships and enhancing trade flows between Jordan and Turkey. He suggested that establishing a joint business council would facilitate sustainable commercial and investment ties, thereby increasing bilateral trade volumes.
Alawneh highlighted the need to improve communication channels between the Jordanian and Turkish business communities. He emphasized the importance of exchanging information on joint investment prospects, identifying mutually beneficial economic sectors, and addressing obstacles facing investors in both markets. Furthermore, he stressed the necessity of fully reopening the Syrian-Turkish border to enhance the flow of regional trade, activate commercial transport routes, and boost Jordanian exports to the Turkish market.
The Turkish ambassador, for his part, emphasized the importance of advancing bilateral economic relations.
