Minister discusses commercial cooperation with Palestinian counterpart

AMMAN — Industry, Trade and Supply Minister Maha Ali on Tuesday met with Palestinian Minister of the National Economy Abeer Odeh over economic cooperation, particularly in the trade field.

The two ministers stressed the importance of removing hindrances affecting trade movements as the value of two-way trade did not exceed JD100 million annually, while it stood at JD53 million during the first half of 2015.

The two officials suggested the establishment of a logistic zone on the border between the two countries to facilitate trade exchange and create joint investments to benefit both sides, in line with the outcomes of the Joint Jordanian-Palestinian Higher Committee meetings.
