Trade minister urges Slovenian businesspeople to invest in Kingdom

AMMAN — Trade Minister Maha Ali has urged businesspeople and investors from Slovenia to benefit from the incentives offered by Jordan, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Saturday.

In a recent meeting with Mitja Bervar, president of the Slovenian National Council, Ali said Jordan is a gateway into the region’s markets in light of its security and stability, and the many free trade agreements it has signed with other countries.

She stressed the importance of intensifying meetings between the private sectors of both countries to increase two-way trade, which she said is still limited, amounting to no more than $10 million annually, according to a ministry statement released Saturday and carried by Petra.

The meeting also covered economic cooperation related to medical tourism, agricultural production and developing small- and medium-sized enterprises.
