The three-day exhibition, which will be held at
Damascus Fairground, will be attended by Jordanian companies working in various
sectors, particularly trade, information and telecom technology, according to a
JCC statement on Sunday.
Jordanian companies participating in the event work in
energy, renewable energy, transportation, logistics, tourism, medical tourism,
agriculture and machinery, as well as universities and hospitals, the statement
added.
JCC Chairman Nael Kabariti said the exhibition
constitutes an "important" economic dimension to further deepen
Jordanian-Syrian commercial relations and sends a message that efforts are
being made by the two countries' economic sector to launch a different phase of
commercial partnership to higher levels that meet the two people's aspirations
and interests.
The exhibition reflects Jordanian commercial and
service sector's desire to develop economic and trade relations with Syria and
support their "rapid" development that suits capabilities available
in the two countries, he pointed out.
Kabariti noted Jordan's commercial and service sector
is "keen to build a new form of economic relations with
Syria within mutual
benefit and integration".
Kabariti also pointed to the need to strengthen
relations of the economic sector's institutions, and work jointly to remove the
obstacles facing the two countries' trade, adding that Jordan-Syria trade
exchange "is still modest," which requires exerting more effort to
increase its volume to meet common interests.
Lauding Jordanian-Syrian relations as "deep-rooted",
he highlighted the two brotherly countries' commonalities, adding that their
economic cooperation should reach a "high" level of coordination and
exchange of views to serve the "higher" common interests.
Resumption of the
Jordanian-Syrian trade relations to
its previous status represents a common interest for the two countries'
economies, especially since Syria represents an "important" trade
artery for the Kingdom, whether in terms of export, import or transit, just as
Jordan represents a gateway for Syrian products and goods to cross safely to
the markets of neighboring countries, according to Kabariti.
Value of Jordanian exports to Syria during 10 months
of 2021 amounted to JD45 million, compared to JD40 million in imports, foreign
trade figures issued by the Department of Statistics showed.
