Murad urges more Chinese investments, activities in Jordanian projects

AMMAN –– Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) President Issa Murad on Wednesday called on Chinese firms to take advantage of investment opportunities available in Jordan and to take part in mega-projects the Kingdom plans to carry out, a chamber statement said. At a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Gao Yusheng, Murad described China as one of Jordan’s major trade partners, indicating that nearly 30 per cent of goods imported to the Kingdom are from China. Trade volumes between the two countries reached $3.6 billion in 2013, he noted. The ACC president called for constant coordination between the chamber and the embassy, particularly with regards to problems facing Jordanian businesspeople who import from China, according to the statement.
