Industry chamber chief meets with Rwanda ambassador

AMMAN — President of the Jordan and Amman chambers of industry Fathi Jaghbir on Thursday expressed hope for economic relations to develop further between Jordan and Rwanda in the next phase, especially as the commercial exchange volume is “still below expectations”.

During a meeting with Rwanda’s non-resident ambassador, Williams Nkurunziza, Jaghbir called for establishing joint investments as a result of the “comparative advantages” in both countries, according to a statement by the Amman Chamber of Industry.

For his part, Nkurunziza stressed that his country, with a population of 12 million and annual imports of some $2 billion, is a “promising market” for Jordanian products. He noted that Jordanians can receive visas upon arrival at the airport in Rwanda.
