Officials call on Jordanian and Kazakh private sectors to increase cooperation


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Jordanian and Kazakh officials have called upon the private sectors in both countries to take advantage of investment opportunities, especially after political leaderships paved the way for investors and businessmen.

Also, technical and administrative attache at the embassy, Asaad Shajrawi, noted that strong Jordanian - Kazakhstani relations have provided new opportunities for cooperation, adding that trade and industry chambers, businessmen and representative of private sectors in both countries must increase their coordination in order to boost bilateral economic cooperation, which has not yet reached their expected levels.

During a meeting with a number of journalists who recently visited Astana, he also expressed the willingness of Kazakhstani traders and representative of the private sector to sign agreements to provide the Kingdom with wheat, and to participate in building a railway between Kazakhstan and Iran.

Shajrawi also stressed the importance of opening direct airline connections, noting that such air services would increase economic relations, trade and tourism between both countries.

Further, Deputy Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan Askar Mussinov stressed that both countries' leaderships paved the way for investors and businessmen to benefit from business opportunities in the two counties.

Regarding the exploration for uranium, Mussinov said that Kazakhstan is rich in uranium and ready to offer its expertise in mining uranium and mineral exploration to Jordan, noting that Kazakhstan contains the largest land mass in the Islamic world.

He added that Kazakhstan will launch the Islamic Organisation for Food Security this year in order to integrate agricultural production and fill gaps between countries, avoid shortages in the supply of food commodities and assist in solving the problems of transport logistics, storage and food prices between these countries.
