Jordanian Business Delegation to Visit Syria to Strengthen Economic Ties
A prominent Jordanian business delegation will travel to Syria on May 26 for an official visit aimed at boosting economic relations between the two countries and exploring areas of mutual cooperation. The visit, which will be the first official mission of its kind under the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, is being organized in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Jordanian Embassy in Damascus, and the Syrian Chamber of Commerce Union, according to Khalil Al-Hajj Tawfiq, Chairman of both the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Commerce. Al-Hajj Tawfiq, who will lead the delegation, described the visit as the largest private sector delegation since the fall of the previous regime and noted that it includes key leaders from Jordan's commercial and service sectors. Over the course of two days, the delegation will engage in high-level talks with Syrian ministers, members of the Syrian Chamber of Commerce Union, and private sector business leaders. The discussions will focus on strengthening trade ties and exploring opportunities for collaboration, including the establishment of a joint Jordanian-Syrian business council and the organization of a business forum in Amman. Al-Hajj Tawfiq expressed his hope that the visit would mark the beginning of a new chapter in the economic relations between the two countries. The delegation will also focus on supporting Syria in its rebuilding efforts, particularly following the recent lifting of sanctions and Syria's reintegration into the regional and global economy. Al-Hajj Tawfiq emphasized that Jordan’s private sector is prepared to offer its expertise in key areas such as banking, digital transformation, and infrastructure development. Al-Hajj Tawfiq stressed the importance of removing trade barriers between the two countries and fostering closer economic partnerships. He highlighted the potential for growth in transit trade and called for increased collaboration through business forums, exhibitions, and sharing of investment opportunities. Recent data from the Amman Chamber of Commerce shows that Jordan’s exports to Syria reached JD 35.4 million in the first two months of this year, while imports from Syria amounted to JD 8.3 million.
