Amman: The Amman-based Arab World Freight Alliance (AWFA) will hold its first conference later this month, with 100 companies from 18 Arab countries taking part in what organizers called a key step toward building an integrated Arab transport and logistics network.
According to Jordan News Agency, the conference will see the launch of the first Jordanian-Arab platform to boost cooperation and partnerships among companies and institutions in freight, customs clearance, and logistics across Jordan and the Arab world. This initiative aims to help develop trade movement, enhance supply chains, and link Arab and global markets, as stated by AWFA chairman Odeh Ramahi in a statement on Monday.
The platform, Ramahi noted, is designed to unite various players in the logistics sector under one umbrella. It seeks to open new opportunities for members to collaborate commercially, exchange expertise, build partnerships, and improve the efficiency of logistics operations through an integrated Arab and international network.
Ramahi emphasized that Jordan's selection to launch the AWFA and its first Arab platform for freight, customs clearance, and logistics services underscores the kingdom's status as a hub linking Arab markets and supporting regional trade, transport, and logistics.
