Tachdjian urges higher Jordanian-Canadian trade exchange

IRBID — Canadian embassy's commercial attaché, Jean-Philippe Tachdjian, on Tuesday called for boosting trade exchange between Jordan and Canada, especially as they are signatory to a free trade agreement. During a visit to Irbid, where he met Irbid Chamber of Commerce Chairman Mohammad Shoha, he cited the "weak" trade balance between the two countries, noting that Canada's exports to Jordan stand at around $68 million, while its imports from the Kingdom amount to $44 million. Tachdjian said a series of meetings will be held for Canadian and Jordanian businesspeople and companies to look into ways to strengthen the joint-trade activities.
