LONDON: Jordan and Iraq have moved ahead with a plan to establish a joint industrial zone on the border between the two countries, according to reports.
Jordan’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Tariq Hammouri and Iraq’s Minister of Industry and Minerals Saleh Al-Jabouri have agreed on the required practical steps to develop the zone, Asharq Al-Awsat reported.
Hammouri and Al-Jabouri’s discussions included facilitating procedures to boost the sale of Jordanian commodities in Iraq, and exempting them from customs in accordance with a bilateral free trade agreement. Hammouri said the discussions will give a strong push for economic cooperation between Amman and Baghdad.
