The 5th meeting of the Kazakh-Jordanian intergovernmental commission on trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation was held in Amman under the joint chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nurlan Baybazarov and Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Yaruba Al-Kuda.
Representatives of the Kazakh and Jordanian delegations discussed issues of cooperation in the field of trade and investment, agriculture, energy, transport, tourism, healthcare, culture and education, as well as the exchange of experience in the field of digitalization.
By the end of 2023, the trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Jordan increased 4.2 times and amounted to $6 million. At the same time, the chairmen of the joint commission noted the potential for further growth.
In order to expand the range of exports, Kazakhstan is ready to increase the supply of non-primary goods to the Jordanian market in 15 commodity items, including wheat and other types of agricultural products.
At the same time, Kazakhstan is interested in the participation of Jordanian companies in the creation of enterprises on the territory of our country for the production of meat, grain, legumes and other products.
The Jordanian side expressed high interest in importing Kazakh grain using alternative transport routes, including through the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan, for its part, is interested in using the potential of the port of Aqaba to export its goods to the Jordanian market and the markets of the MENA countries (countries of the Middle East and North Africa).
An important step was the discussion on the use of the open skies regime by Jordanian airlines to launch direct flights to Kazakhstan, which will contribute to the development of tourism and strengthen economic ties.
The parties noted the prospects for the implementation of joint projects in the field of exploration and extraction of minerals, including uranium. Agreements have been reached with the State uranium company of Jordan (JUMCO) on the participation of the national atomic company Kazatomprom in the uranium projects of the Kingdom.
The participants stressed the need for direct interaction between the business circles of the two countries, including through the organization of bilateral trade and economic missions. For these purposes, the work of the Kazakh-Jordanian Business Council will be intensified, the meeting of which is proposed to be held in Astana next year.
