Jordanian, Romanian businessmen look into ways to establish joint ventures

AMMAN – The second round of meetings of the Jordanian-Romanian Business Council kicked off on Monday, with participants looking into ways to establish joint investment ventures.

Representatives of the two countries’ trade and economic sectors stressed the need to benefit from incentives offered by the Jordanian investment environment, especially in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority.

Jordanian Businessmen Association President Hamdi Tabaa highlighted “promising” fields of cooperation between Jordan and Bucharest, such as tourism, energy, healthcare and ICT services.

Meanwhile, head of the Investment Commission, Muntaser Oqlah, noted that the Jordanian-European partnership agreement “did not achieve the aspired goals for the Kingdom”, particularly in increasing exports to the European markets and attracting investments from EU countries.

The diplomatic partnership between Jordan and Romania will soon mark 50 years.
