On the sidelines of the expo, Abughazaleh launched an investment promotion tour in China that includes meetings with economic institutions, companies and investors to showcase investment opportunities in the Kingdom and highlight Jordan's competitive advantages as a regional business and investment hub and a gateway to regional and international markets.
He also held a roundtable meeting with representatives of Chinese companies and economic institutions, organized by the China Overseas Development Association (CODA) in cooperation with the Jordanian Embassy in Beijing. The meeting was attended by Jordan's Ambassador to China Hussam Husseini and representatives of Chinese firms interested in overseas expansion and investment.

Abughazaleh described China as a strategic economic and investment partner, stressing the importance of international economic and investment events in strengthening cooperation and attracting quality investments. He said Jordan has introduced a comprehensive package of legislative and administrative reforms in recent years that have improved investment services, enhanced the business environment and strengthened the Kingdom's competitiveness as a regional and international investment destination.
He added that Jordan offers investors multiple competitive advantages, including a strategic location linking regional markets, advanced infrastructure, political and economic stability, and an extensive network of free trade agreements providing access to major global markets.
The investment promotion tour will continue in the coming days with meetings involving major Chinese companies and economic institutions operating in transport, logistics, energy, industry, agriculture and technology as part of efforts to attract additional investments to the Kingdom.
