Jordanian Ambassador to Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova, Sufian Qudah, discussed with Chairman and members of Board of Directors of Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC), ways to strengthen trade relations between Jordan and those three countries, stressing importance of exchanging trade delegations's visits to learn about investment opportunities and increase commercial exchange. Moreover, the two sides discussed role of Jordanian embassy in Bucharest to arrange a visit of a Jordanian economic delegation during the next two months to those three countries and providing a database on their current opportunities to achieve Jordan's food security. The two sides said this step is realized by leasing or acquiring agricultural lands and exploiting them, which would guarantee provision of food at "affordable" prices and quantities needed by Jordan's local market, and transfer expertise from those countries to the Kingdom in the agriculture field. According to an ACC statement on Saturday, discussions went over need to increase Romanian investments in the Kingdom, which are currently considered "modest," especially since Jordan has an "attractive" investment environment. Talks also noted Jordan's "distinguished" location can be invested to be a hub for storing and re-exporting Romanian products to the region's countries, especially wheat, in which Romania can be made a center for re-exporting Jordanian products, such as fertilizers, to the Balkan countries, the statement said. ACC Chairman, Khalil Haj Tawfiq, said the chamber will work in coordination with Jordanian Embassy in Bucharest to open a "new" phase of commercial relations, hold joint exhibitions, exchange delegations, provide job opportunities in those countries and export Jordanian competencies to work in several fields, especially in the information technology sector.
