Seminar promotes exhibition in Italy

AMMAN — Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC), in cooperation with the Jordan Investment Commission and the Italian Business Development Institution, on Sunday organised an orientation seminar on the 18th international exhibition for retrieving items, energy and sustainable development. The exhibition will be held in Rimini City in Italy in next November. ACC President Issa Murad said Jordan and Italy have strong relations, noting that Italy is an important commercial partner to the Kingdom. Murad added that the trade balance between the two countries is still low; the Kingdom’s exports to Italy last year reached about $46 million versus $1.035 billion of imports.  The ACC president mentioned medicine, fertilisers, potash and Dead Sea products as key products that Italy can import from Jordan. Murad also pointed to political stability, strong economic relations with regional countries and free trade agreements with many countries as investment attractions.
