Discussions, which took place at Al Husseiniya Palace, covered Jordan’s investment-friendly climate, its qualified human resources as well as its multiple free trade agreements which position it as a gateway into regional and global markets. They also discussed the potential of capitalising on opportunities in Jordan’s vital sectors, especially the ICT, which has reached an exceptional level due to young Jordanian talents and attractive investment conditions. Japan sees Jordan a ‘great partner with great potential’ Concluding a two-day visit to Jordan on Tuesday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe tweeted yesterday that “Jordan has played a core role in the stability of the region for many years, including the acceptance of Syria refugees. It is a great partner in the Middle East for Japan”. The remarks echoed statements he made while in Jordan, where he met with His Majesty King Abdullah and Prime Minister Hani Mulki.During his meeting with the Japanese leader, the King stressed that Japan is a strong partner for Jordan, and “we highly appreciate its leadership role globally”, while Abe stressed that Tokyo would work on developing the “distinguished relations between our countries to the level of strategic partnership”.He said that Jordan’s stability is indispensable for regional stability, and his country would continue providing assistance to Jordan as much as possible, so as to ensure the Kingdom’s social and economic stability and to support its development efforts. He also said Japan respects and encourages His Majesty’s efforts to counter violent extremism, as well as his efforts to promote the Middle East peace process. * Source: Bloomberg, Jordan Times, Zawya Disclaimer Awraq Investments and its affiliates obtain information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose, and disclaim for themselves and their information providers all liability arising from the use.
