He explained that nearly a quarter of a million Jordanian employees work in this sector and their products reach 144 different countries around the world.

He noted that Jordan enjoys distinguished economic relations with several countries, including the United States, Canada and the European Union, and has signed bilateral and collective free trade agreements that aim to enhance economic cooperation.
