AMMAN — Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) President Kim Young-mok on Saturday announced a JD5.2 million grant for the establishment of a new building for Al Amal Co-educational School for the deaf in Marka, Amman.

The project, to be implemented next year, is in line with the joint cooperation between the two countries, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
