Chairman of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry, Eng. Fathi Al-Jaghbir, stated on Saturday that the participating companies represent sectors related to reconstruction—particularly infrastructure, building materials, and energy—alongside engineering industries in which Jordan holds significant competitive capabilities.
In a statement, Al-Jaghbir added that an industrial delegation will visit Damascus on the sidelines of the exhibition. The delegation will include representatives from various industrial sectors and will explore opportunities for business partnerships and the establishment of integrated industries.
He noted that the visit will also include meetings with several Syrian ministries and institutions involved in bilateral trade, stressing the importance of strengthening economic relations between Jordan and Syria, given their shared interests.
Al-Jaghbir emphasized that easing restrictions on the movement of goods and financial transfers would help facilitate the flow of goods and services and enhance the investment environment on both sides of the border.
He expressed hope for a return of Jordanian exports to Syria to their historical levels, which once exceeded 181 million Jordanian dinars. He pointed out that Jordan’s exports to Syria reached 13 million dinars in the first two months of this year, marking a 40% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
He also highlighted Jordan’s strategic geographic location, positioning it as a key logistics hub for supplying goods to Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. This, he said, reinforces Jordan’s role as a regional trade corridor and supports the return of Jordanian exports to neighboring markets through Syrian territory.
