Jordan Daily - Chairman of the Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA) Ayman Al-Alawneh on Sunday met with Azerbaijan Ambassador to Jordan Shahin Abdullayev to discuss prospects for enhancing economic and investment cooperation between the two countries, according to a JBA statement.
Al-Alawneh highlighted the strength of Jordanian-Azerbaijani relations, noting that there are promising opportunities to expand joint investments, particularly in light of growing interest from investment institutions and sovereign funds in development projects in the Kingdom, including the Amra City project.

Al-Alawneh also called for the establishment of a joint business council to facilitate networking among business leaders and to explore available investment opportunities.
He further underscored the need to increase Jordanian exports to the Azerbaijani market and to identify new avenues for trade cooperation, especially in value-added sectors.
For his part, Ambassador Abdullayev emphasised the importance of expanding cooperation in key sectors such as tourism, food industries and energy, noting that such efforts would enhance economic integration and serve mutual interests.
The ambassador also pointed to significant potential to boost bilateral trade, affirming Azerbaijan’s readiness to provide the necessary facilitation to encourage Jordanian investors and businesspeople to enter the Azerbaijani market.
The meeting was attended by JBA board member Mahmoud Freihat and Director General Tariq Hijazi, as well as embassy officials Ali Qadirov and Nijat Ismayilov.
