Ngabitsinze stressed the importance of broadening cooperation to include the exchange of expertise, technology transfer, training, empowerment, investment establishment and achieving integration across various sectors.
The business forum, attended by businessmen from both countries, served as a platform for direct engagement to discuss cooperation prospects and seize available opportunities, according to the statement.
On the sidelines of the Jordan-Rwanda Forum, Memoranda of Understanding were signed between the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, the Jordan Chamber of Industry, and the Rwanda Private Sector Federation. These agreements aim to strengthen cooperation in areas beneficial to the private sectors of both countries, the statement added.
