The President of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, Senator Nael Raja Al-Kabariti, discussed increasing Turkish investments in the Kingdom by encouraging companies and Turkish business owners to invest in the economic sectors, through bilateral partnerships with the Jordanian private sector.

Al-Kabariti met the Turkish ambassador to Jordan Ismail Aramaz, during which the two sides discussed mechanisms to enhance economic cooperation between the two countries and how to overcome the challenges posed by the Coronavirus crisis on their commercial relations.

Al-Kabariti stressed "the necessity of expanding the base of the exchanged goods between Jordan and Turkey, especially in terms of Jordanian exports, which are still restricted to certain products."
