“The forum falls within
the framework of a tripartite alliance between the leaders of Jordan, Egypt,
and Iraq, aimed at launching a new phase of constructive cooperation and an
extended strategic partnership to strengthen joint Arab action, especially in
light of the common challenges that confront the three countries,” Yassa said,
noting an upcoming launch of an Egyptian investment project in Jordan’s duty
free zone.
Yassa said the forum convenes amid the three countries’ desire to
achieve economic integration, especially that the economy leads the pathway for
sustainable development, according to Ad-Dustour daily.
She noted that Jordan was
selected as part of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's intent to support
joint economic cooperation, a topic that was on the agenda of his meeting with
King Abdullah during a recent visit to Egypt.
The forum aims to inform
business participants about investment opportunities and benefits offered by
Egypt and the potential partnerships with participating entrepreneurs and
investors.
The two-day forum includes
business-to-business discussions and workshops on trade as well as the
importance of small and medium-sized enterprises in empowering women economically.
Day two will take the
delegations on visits to Jordan’s key tourist and archaeological sites.
