Jordan's businesspeople ask Kuwait to improve flow of goods

AMMAN — Representatives of Jordan's industrial and commercial sectors on Tuesday urged Kuwaiti authorities to remove administrative and technical obstacles hindering the flow of Jordanian goods to Kuwait and bring new investments to the Kingdom.

At a meeting with an official Kuwaiti delegation, the representatives also asked that Kuwait import more Jordanian food products and medicine, encourage tourism, and facilitate transporting goods and truck crossing.

Jordan Chamber of Commerce board member Asaad Al Qawasmi called for creating an integrated business system between the two countries, pointing out that the Jordanian private sector is a leading sector in the region that is able to compete with foreign products exported to Kuwait in terms of quality and price.

Nimer Fahad Al Sabah, assistant undersecretary for international organisations and foreign trade affairs at the Kuwaiti ministry of commerce and industry, voiced Kuwait's interest in enhancing relations with Jordan, especially in the commercial and investment fields, noting that he will present the demands to senior Kuwaiti officials to study them and remove any obstacles hindering the flow of Jordanian goods to Kuwait.
