According to a JBA statement carried by the Jordan News
Agency, Petra, Tabbaa stressed the importance of the JBA’s role in promoting
joint investments and increasing the volume of trade exchange between Jordan
and Tunisia.
Tabbaa also pointed to the importance of developing a
joint action plan to increase opportunities of Jordanian products’ entry to
African countries through Tunisia, in return for Tunisian products access to
the US market through the Gulf of Aqaba.
In addition, Tabbaa called on the Tunisian business
community to visit Jordan and learn about investment opportunities and
incentives, and take advantage of the free trade agreements between Jordan and
various Arab and international trade blocs.
Ambassador Suhaili, for his part, expressed his
country’s desire to increase joint investment volume, adding that the embassy
is keen to maintain contact with the JBA to sustain activity of the
Jordanian-Tunisian Business Council (JTBC) periodically, given the importance
of its outcomes in providing “practical” solutions to the challenges facing the
two countries’ private sector.
The diplomat also said recommendations of the JTBC’s
third session meetings focused on strengthening role of the private sector and
networking and activating bilateral relations.
In this regard, Suhaili stressed the importance of
discussing joint cooperation in the sectors of garment, textiles, banking,
contracting, traditional industries, transport, shipping, and pharmaceutical
industries.
Suhaili affirmed the embassy’s readiness to cooperate to
open “new” horizons for the joint trade and investment relations, adding that
the two countries have signed agreements that which strengthen bilateral
cooperation.
The two sides agreed to hold the JTBC’s fourth session
meetings in person. The meeting is set to together the JBA and Confederation of
Tunisian Citizen Enterprises next June in the Tunisian capital Tunis to
