According to a joint ACC-FTA statement on Saturday, bilateral meetings will
bring together Jordanian and Egyptian importers, traders and exporters, as well
as business owners from Palestine, Syria and Iraq, who were invited to take
part in the discussions.
ACC Chairman, Khalil Haj Tawfiq, said the Egyptian delegation's visit is the
outcome of joint ACC-FTA cooperation and coordination with the Egyptian Food
Export Council (FEC), stressing that the Kingdom will be a center for meetings
that will take place during the coming period.
Haj Tawfiq, who also heads FTA, called on Jordanian and Arab traders, importers
and exporters residing in the Kingdom, to attend the talks scheduled to start in
Amman on Monday, referring to other meetings set to be held later for various
commercial and service sectors.
He also expressed hope that the meetings will contribute to increasing the
volume of inter-Arab trade exchange, building partnerships, exchanging
expertise, enhancing mutual investment to achieve economic integration. He said
the ultimate goal would be to achieve Arab food security, especially amid the
prevailing circumstances as the world witnesses "remarkable"
challenges in this sector.
The next stage, he added, will witness a new push in the form of the
Jordanian-Egyptian economic and trade relationship aimed to strengthen joint
cooperation, expand investments and address any obstacles facing traders,
importers and exporters from the two countries.
