The Jordanian capital, Amman, hosted the Turkish-Jordanian Economic Forum with the aim of enhancing economic cooperation between the two countries. This was jointly organized by the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, the Uludag Exporters Association (based in the Turkish city of Bursa), and the Turkish Exporters Association, in cooperation with the Amman Chamber of Commerce in Jordan, in the presence of Ankara’s ambassador to the Kingdom, Erdam Ozan.
The head of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, Khalil Haj Tawfiq, explained in his speech that “the volume of trade exchange between the two countries grew during the past year 2022 by 27 percent.” He considered that the "volume of exchange" is the largest since the cancellation of the free trade agreement with Turkey in 2019, as the increase in the volume of trade exchange came from the growth of Jordanian imports from Turkey by 31.5 percent to 909.2 million dollars.
Hajj Tawfiq called for "the start of negotiations to build or reformulate a new free trade agreement between the two countries, within new frameworks and conditions, and to involve the private sector from both sides when preparing it, to ensure the achievement of the common interests of the two countries."
