organizations and involve the participation of academics.
A reception will also be held on March 9 to honor Jordanian and Mexican women

include a lecture on the history and development of relations between the two
countries, a workshop discussing mutual business and investment opportunities,
and efforts to establish Salt and the Mexican city of Ixtaben de la Sal as
sister cities.

half of this year, as well as a trip for a group of social media influencers and
travel and tourism offices to promote tourism opportunities, with the support

A call to strengthen tiesPresident of the Jordanian-Mexican Friendship Association
Barakat Awajan told Jordan News: “We seek to consolidate the relationship
between the two countries,”
especially given that Mexico “is advanced in the
economic and industrial fields”.
Awajan called for strengthening the bilateral relationship
at all levels, “since Jordan is a country that encourages and attracts
investment and cultural and academic exchange”.
“We, as an association, call for granting more (Mexican)
visas to Jordanians,” he said, noting that Mexico considers the Kingdom a good
tourism destination.
Continued cooperation with the North American nation, the
association president said, “will add a beautiful dimension to Jordan”.
