The visits allow investors to talk about the challenges they face, Amr added, stressing that the Ministry of Investment was established to serve and enable investment projects and facilitate the services provided to those projects, in addition to supporting Jordanian exports through specialised exhibitions.

“The doors of the Ministry of Investment are open to investors to listen to their suggestions and recommendations, which will be taken seriously,” he highlighted
