Gov’t enacts measures to strengthen Jordan-Palestine trade

AMMAN — The government is implementing measures to facilitate the flow of goods between Jordan and Palestine, which will increase the volume of trade exchange — still below both countries' ambitions — Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Youssef Shamali said on Saturday.

The minister's remarks came during his meeting with the President of the Palestinian Businessmen Forum Amer Eseili, Head of the Jordanian-Palestinian Business Forum Nazmi Atmeh and a delegation of Palestinian businesspeople, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
