2. Macroeconomic & Corporate News Stakeholders launch plan to implement UN decision on women, security and peace Stakeholders on Wednesday launched a national Jordanian plan to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, security and peace. A ceremony was organised on the occasion, attended by Minister of the Interior Samir Mubaidin on behalf of Prime Minister Hani Mulki and representatives from the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and Women Empowerment (UN Women). Security General for the JNCW Salma Nims said that the implementation of resolution 1325 and other subsequent decisions during the years 2018-2021 comes in response to security and military challenges and their implications, and reflects the faith and commitment of the state to respecting human rights and strengthening the understanding of justice and equality that Jordan is committed to achieving through a number of national frameworks. Jordan seeks to copy Dutch air cargo experience His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday visited the Joint Inspection Centre (JIC) at Schiphol Airport in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, which is one of the airport's SmartGate projects. During the visit, the King was briefed on the electronic services, inspection processes and cargo clearance at the facility. The centre's officials said that the project was implemented in partnership with the public and the private sectors to facilitate and accelerate air cargo. His Majesty's visit to the airport came in a bid to benefit from the Dutch expertise in air cargo to implement it at Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA). On the sidelines of the King's visit, the two countries signed an agreement to prepare a feasibility study for the development of cargo area at QAIA. Dutch business executives interested in investing in Kingdom His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday, in the presence of King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands, met with business leaders and CEO's of leading Dutch companies, a Royal Court statement said. During the meeting, held at the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW), His Majesty outlined the opportunities offered by Jordan to foreign investors. The King stressed the importance of bolstering, expanding and diversifying trade exchange between Jordan and The Netherlands, noting that the agreements that were signed during the visit reflect both countries’ keenness on boosting economic ties. He highlighted measures taken to improve Jordan’s business environment and attract investments, noting that the Kingdom is seeking to benefit from the Dutch experience and advanced know-how in the fields of agriculture, water management, energy and energy storing solutions. King Abdullah affirmed that Jordan is forging ahead in its policy of opening up to the world's leading economies and establishing genuine partnerships with the private sectors in these countries, steps which, he said, will help boost the national economy and generate jobs. * 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.
