His Majesty King Abdullah participated in the Sun Valley economic forum over the past two days, in Idaho, the United States.

On the sidelines of the forum, King Abdullah held meetings with heads and representatives of a number of major international and US companies, part of which were attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.

During the meetings, opportunities for cooperation with the private sector in Jordan and investment in vital sectors were discussed. The meetings included CEOs of companies operating in the mining, the garments industry, engineering and technology industries, tourism, education, and investment.

Discussions also covered the importance of bolstering public-private partnerships at the international level to counter the implications of global crises on food and energy security, mitigate the impact of climate change, and step up humanitarian efforts to address the refugee crisis.

The annual Sun Valley forum is held in July, with the participation of international and US political, economic, and media leaders to discuss the latest international developments and their economic impact.
