Friday’s event at the residence of the Mexican
Ambassador Roberto Rodriguez Hernandez was attended by several political,
economic, diplomatic, and media figures.
Speaking at the ceremony, association President
Barakat Awajan stressed its role in strengthening Jordanian-Mexican relations.
Mexico, he said, is a large emerging economy, ranking
first in the Americas and fifth globally in terms of heritage sites.
A symposium will be held on bilateral relations and
future plans to establish a Jordanian-Mexican business council to enhance joint
cooperation, he added.
For his part, Hernandez said that this important
initiative will be a “strong driver” to strengthen relations and disseminate
Mexican culture, which is exemplary in terms of tolerance and stability.
Jordanian-Mexican relations are witnessing clear
development, as seen in the two nations’ unified positions and visions
concerning many issues and their agreements and memoranda of understanding in
the areas of culture, economy, society, tourism, and education, the envoy
noted.
Other agreements on customs, air operation services,
civil aviation, and justice are in their final stages, he said.
The Jordan-Mexico Friendship Association was
established to strengthen and support these relations, to form a bridge for
communication and cooperation between the two countries’ peoples, and to
highlight their cultures, Hernandez explained.
The association
will also play a role in developing and promoting joint projects, business
opportunities, trade, and investment between the two countries and coordinating
the launch of exhibitions and economic seminars, the envoy noted.
Recently, he said, the
Jordan Businessmen Association and the Jordan Chamber of Commerce have signed memoranda of
understanding with their Mexican counterparts. In addition, cultural, academic,
and scientific exchanges will be supported by promoting bilateral agreements to
exchange scholarships for teaching and scientific research bodies.
Coordination and cooperation between public and
private Jordanian and Mexican universities is underway to support joint tourism
and heritage promotion, Hernandez said.
