Saqqaf emphasised the strong ties between Jordan and Cyprus, as well as the ministry’s commitment to assisting Cypriot businesses and exchanging experiences with the agency.
He discussed the ministry’s key initiatives for empowering the investment sector, including the establishment of the Invest in Jordan platform, the passage of legislation governing the investment environment, and the adoption of the investment promotion strategy for 2023-2026.
