The visit, organized by the Jordanian Businessmen Association in cooperation with the Syrian Businessmen and Businesswomen Association, includes the convening of a joint investment forum as part of efforts to activate the memorandum of understanding signed between the two sides in 2009.
The forum, which will be attended by investors, business leaders, and companies from both countries, will feature an extensive working session focusing on reviewing investment opportunities in Syria, economic legislative integration between the two countries, and Jordan’s role as a key economic and logistical hub for Syria.
The session aims to frame joint investment opportunities, particularly in light of Syria’s economic initiatives and its orientation toward strategic sectors to enhance economic integration and reconstruction efforts, with the goal of building a sustainable, shared investment bridge that serves both sides.
The forum will also include business-to-business meetings between entrepreneurs and companies from both countries, providing a platform for exchanging information on avenues of joint investment and trade cooperation, strengthening bilateral relations, and building partnerships based on mutual interests.
Chairman of the Jordanian Businessmen Association, Ayman Al-Allawneh, affirmed that the delegation’s visit and the forum are of great importance, particularly in enhancing and developing economic relations between the two brotherly countries and benefiting from the available investment and trade opportunities across several strategic sectors.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Al-Allawneh noted that the Association is keen to exert further efforts to promote major projects that the Kingdom intends to implement in vital and promising sectors, and to attract investors to participate in them, in line with the role of the private sector outlined in the Economic Modernization Vision.
Al-Allawneh, who heads the delegation comprising more than 30 businessmen representing commercial, service, and industrial sectors, stressed that there are numerous and diverse trade and investment opportunities in both countries that can be leveraged to further develop their economic relations, particularly in reconstruction projects.
The delegation includes representatives from the contracting and construction, transport and logistics, education, energy, water, general trade, agriculture, tourism and travel, industry, financial and banking, information technology, and free, development, and industrial zones sectors.
