The King spoke about his visit to China over the past several days, during which he noted that the Jordanian delegation has been meeting with representatives of Chinese businesses to discuss investment and partnership opportunities and explore the many opportunities for expanding economic cooperation between the two countries, emphasising that the Kingdom has a great deal to offer to this economic partnership, and that there are enormous opportunities for growth.

His Majesty added that Jordan is keen to expand cooperation with China in tourism, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and food and engineering industries, as well as many other fields.

For his part, Premier Li said China-Jordan relations remain sound under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, and that development efforts in recent years show the fruitful results of the practical cooperation between the two countries. He affirmed that there is every reason to believe that the China-Jordan friendship will be carried forward and grow stronger through one generation to the next, noting the importance of the King’s visit in strengthening trust and consolidating bilateral ties.
