In
a meeting in Amman on Monday, Tabbaa and the French Ambassador to the Kingdom,
Alexis Le Coeur Granmaison, discussed strengthening economic relations between
the two countries, enhancing cooperation between the two business communities,
and prospects for future investments in promising economic sectors, according
to a JBA statement carried by Hala News.
Tabbaa
highlighted the JBA’s interest in strengthening and developing investment and
trade relations between Jordan and France.
In
terms of France’s current investments in Jordan, Tabbaa pointed to the key role
played by the French-Jordanian Business Council, established in 1994 in
cooperation with the French Employers Association.
During
the meeting, members of the JBA board noted that the association is currently
preparing to host an international business conference for French speakers next
May.
The
board members presented prospects for cooperation in the educational and
tourism fields. They proposed the opening of a French university in Jordan to
consolidate bilateral relations on the cultural level and contribute to the
development of Jordanian education. Such a step, they said, would also reflect
positively on future commercial, industrial, and investment cooperation.
For
his part, the French ambassador stressed the importance of expanding bilateral
relations in a way that enhances joint investments. He also highlighted the
need to diversify trade exchange and increase trade volume, expressing the
embassy's readiness to cooperate with the association to increase networking
between the two nations’ business communities.

various fields, especially agriculture, which has drawn interest from the
French side.
