The Ukrainian Ambassador noted that since 2011, there has been a dramatic decrease in trade and economic relations between both countries. “Bilateral trade in 2008 exceeded $1 billion but has dropped down dramatically and restored to $220 million in 2021.” She blamed the crisis in Syria which “had a direct impact on trade routes from Ukraine to Jordan”.
The ambassador who was heading the Middle East and Africa Department at the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry before becoming an envoy to Jordan said that “the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan lays at the crossroads of major trade routes in the region and, according to the strategic vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II, possesses the unique potential to become a powerful food and trade hub”.
She described the plans of the embassy to strengthen the dialogue between both countries in trade that, “was crushed” due to the Russian war on Ukraine. She pointed out that the famous Ukrainian company “Nibulon”, which is active in Jordan, suffered losses because of the Russian war.
