AMMAN — President of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) Nayef Bakhit on Monday met with Canadian Ambassador in Jordan Donica Pottie to discuss Canadian investment in the Kingdom. 

Bakhit presented the services and facilitations provided by the authority to investors, indicating the strategic importance of Aqaba as a regional logistical centre that enjoys the best and most modern ports in the Arab region, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

He pointed to the obstacles that faced investment in the Kingdom, and in the city of Aqaba in particular, due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. 

Praising Jordan’s moderate policy, Pottie noted that Jordan is a safe destination for investment which fosters educated and trained workforce and offers a variety of investment opportunities of priority to Canadian companies seeking to expand and diversify their businesses.

She also highlighted that the Kingdom is a gateway to potential large markets in Iraq, Syria and East Asian countries.
