AMMAN — Minister of Public Works and Housing, Yahya Kisbi on Tuesday met with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Jordan Office Director Miyahara Chie and accompanying delegation.

The two sides discussed ways to bolster cooperation in the fields of housing, construction and contracting, and road maintenance, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
