Manasir said Jordan is a hub for economic investments and tourist destination, and stressed the importance of enhancing bilateral cooperation.

Jamal Gammoh, head of the Lower House’s Energy Committee underlined the importance of a project being implemented by an Estonian energy company that is working in Jordan to generate electricity through burning oil shale.

According to Gammoh, such projects are important because they create job opportunities and increase the capacity of the electricity grid.
