Kazakhstan, Jordan to increase economic cooperation

Kazakhstan is ready to increase the supply of non-resource goods to the Jordanian market, including wheat and other agricultural products. This was announced at the fifth meeting of the intergovernmental commission of the two countries on trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation, held in Amman. The parties emphasized the significant potential for trade growth between the countries, as evidenced by the figures. Thus, the bilateral trade turnover increased more than fourfold last year. The Jordanian side expressed interest in importing Kazakh grain using alternative transport routes, including through the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan can use the capabilities of the port of Aqaba to export its goods. This will allow to supply products not only to the Jordanian market but also to countries in the Middle East and North Africa. At the same time, Kazakhstan is interested in the participation of Jordanian companies in establishing food industry enterprises within the country. To intensify business relations, the parties intend to hold a meeting of the Kazakh-Jordanian Business Council next year.
