Amman, July 6 (Petra) – Minister of Investment Tareq Abu Ghazaleh and European Union ambassadors and heads of mission on Monday discussed preparations for the Jordan-European Investment Conference, scheduled to be held at the Dead Sea on November 19.

The meeting also covered ways to enhance cooperation and expand an economic and investment partnership between Jordan and the EU.

Abu Ghazaleh said the conference will bring together senior investors, decision-makers and representatives of financial and development institutions to translate Jordanian-EU relations into high-quality projects and sustainable investments.

He said the ministry, in cooperation with the European Commission and EU member states, is continuing promotional tours in several European countries to present investment opportunities in Jordan and encourage European investors and companies, particularly from the private sector, to participate in the conference.

The minister reviewed key legislative and regulatory reforms that have strengthened Jordan’s investment competitiveness, as well as projects and opportunities to be highlighted during the conference.

Abu Ghazaleh said Jordan’s economy has shown resilience amid regional and international developments, supported by the Kingdom’s strategic location, trade agreements and stability, which reinforce its position as an attractive regional hub for quality investments.

Several EU ambassadors and heads of mission spoke of Jordan as a trusted strategic partner, citing economic reforms, improved business environment, stability, strategic location and agreements that position the Kingdom as a gateway to regional and global markets.

They voiced support for preparations for the conference, and said they would continue encouraging European private-sector participation to advance economic and investment partnerships and open new areas of cooperation.
